lakeside living

Decided to return to Pully and try out the pools (which close in a couple of weeks!). Incredible setting for swimming, and friendly children handed Michael and Jack a cup and bucket besides. I was very impressed by the cafeteria's offerings - a full range of complete meals, ranging from Parisian steak or braised chicken, along with wine and beer.

A whimsical scene in front of the Food Museum in Vevey - that is a fork with resident seagull.

The little sailboats in the background belong to one of the sailing schools for children, which we wish Michael were old enough to take part in. The swivel chairs are firmly implanted in rock!

The boat dock at Montreux, famous for its summer jazz festival and more glitzy life. Sadly, I have never been able to disassociate the song, "Smoke on the Water," from this place (inspired by a festival fire years ago). So as the boat neared and the sign could be read, the Twinkle Twinkle Little Star of my jr high days began to replay.
