Cafe de la Poste


Just past Lausanne extending 'til Vevey is a scene of astounding beauty; steeply terraced vineyards with tiny villages perched on hills dotting the trails and roads that crisscross them. Epesses, St Saphorin, and the village of Chexbres, the spot where Cafe de la Poste services the tables overlooking the dramatic backdrop of French and Swiss Alps rising up from Lake Geneva.Each village has its wine by same name and you can order by the deciliter.We had just spent the day at All Saints, staying for the BBQ - a small humble affair by American animal protein standards, but very delicious and enjoyable. The rector, Clive Atkinson, Protestant Irish is preaching out of the Psalms (pronounced "Sams") of Ascent, dovetailing nicely with GRC in Camarillo.

We connected with a L'Abri worker, Richard Bradford and another American expat, Amy, with a private business helping corporate clients with leadership; apparently, companies recognize that the "predator" model of manager - gets things done and everyone hates him - is costly by human standards. "Crazy boss" and other choice vernacular comes to mind.

We ended the day early to get the boys - and us - on fall school schedule which begins tomorrow! The boys are in the schools we wished for, so we are all excited and nervous to see how this will all go.
