Besides the food...

OK.  You'd think all we were doing was eating and drinking.  Which is just about all we are doing.   The big activities each day are menu planning, shopping for dinner, preparing dinner and eating dinner...today we went to Ikea - which is amazing because when you look out the window, you see, a medieval church and a chateau instead of a mall parking lot.

Yesterday, a drive to Lausanne - which could only be in Europe - we climbed to the top of the Jardins botaniques - and the view ... we've taken so many pictures of the mountains and the vistas, I feel sorry for our readers, we really have done more than swan around taking pictures of mountains, but honestly, you just don't see this in Halifax...

And now, home for dinner - protein and carbo-loading for skiing in the French Alps tomorrow.  And then maybe the Thermes on Friday to recover...
