Perspective

The rhythm of the days is lovely - a busy day, a down day, a walk around the lake, some reading, sleeping in, getting up early - it's so fascinating to watch everyone reach their own thresholds for relaxing.  Here are a few favourite photos from the last few days.

 Meg took this one from the ferry from Lausanne to Evian.  The front of the boat had a French flag, the back had a Swiss one.  The ferry was quite fancy - even the 2nd class lounge where we sat.  It was amazing though that once out on the lake, we couldn't see anything - you would never know that the Alps were right there.
Evian was an interesting place - lots of hotels that are somewhat past their glory days.  Public art is a big thing in these cities - Evian had paintings on the buildings - trompe l'oeil concoctions that were so realistic you had to look twice.  Huge sculptures made of sticks.

I love this picture of a building next to the Lausanne cathedral - the symmetry is pleasing.
This pic is taken in the cathedral - almost unposed...

Today is market day again in Divonne - our fourth.  Everyone will do their own thing.  I'll take a walk down to the brook that flows through town - my favourite thing to do.  The sound is of spring.  In a week, we head to Morocco - have no idea what to expect.
