Top 10 from our Swiss “Holiday”

10. Europeans are all thin! This was great encouragement (or should I say discouragement after all of the pizza and gelato that I consumed.)

9. Beautiful, beautiful scenery! Maybe some of the prettiest in the world! But, I would rather be at 4171 Barfield Road with all of my family.

8. $$! Geneva is one of the wealthiest cities in the world. The clothing was 3 Xs that in the US.Our lunches were over $100!

7. Medium = sill mooing when it comes to beef.

6. Swiss chocolate IS that much better! I have already eaten three bars since I started writing this!

5. The Red Cross was founded in Geneva-hence the symbol is the Swiss cross with the colors inverted.

4. Calvin and the protestant reformation started in Geneva. Very cool church and history about the beginning of the protestant church. I learned a lot!

3. Bed bugs-no, we didn’t have them but I checked every night, every morning and even in the middle of the night. I have washed EVERYTHING that we packed and I allowed NOTHING to touch our bed until it had be washed and dried-VERY HOT! I did take Advil PM every night so I could sleep.

2. Fondue is Swiss and I LOVE cheese Fondue! So entertaining and so yummy!

1. Swiss wine is cheaper than water so we definitely drank a vineyard! Water was $6-8 and wine was $6. No-brainer right?
