Laowai

There is a comfort that comes from our familiarity with Switzerland. Maybe someday we will want to expand our travel, but right now it feels right. We can travel around the country and see new places but still be very comfortable. The girls are at a fun age for trips like this. It can feel like an adventure and still be somewhat relaxing as a vacation should be.

Here’s claire eating some familiar ice cream. Notice her messy mouth is chocolate on one side and vanilla on one side.

Switzerland has the best playgrounds – wherever you go.

We ate way too much cheese. Here we are about to have fondue and poor Claire E. couldn’t keep her eyes open.

Brian is in heaven – the familiar hotel breakfast includes several types of cheese and cured meats. I love the Bircher Muesli (familiar and so tasty).

This familiar style of scalloped siding that you see on old houses always impresses me.

Familiar Funicular – say that three times fast.

Brian got to do some biking – new roads but familiar happy feelings.

Riding on the train and playing with toys – so customarily pleasant.
