Vince eating French hot dog. This meal, I ordered entirely in French. I did pretty well with speaking French during this trip, pulling verbs out of my brain and dusting them off. Not to shabby, I think. French hot dogs are hilarious. They take a baguette and shove them on a stick and make a hole in the middle. Then they squirt catsup into them and then shove the hot dog into the hole.

It was pretty hard to feed Edda during the week. We really had no kitchen and since dinner was served at 8 pm, she was pretty much ready for bed then. We had her living on avacados, tofu (which I had brought from the US in hermetically sealed boxes that don’t require refridgerations), bananas and every once in a while, we’d have a meal of scrambled eggs. She was pretty excited to get home and eat other things.

Where is everybody? All very busy with their things, I guess 🙂

The Swiss Vapeur Parc. Riding miniature trains. Continue…. to…. ride… the… trains…

This was the highlight of Vince’s European Vacation. This parc had two trains running. We spent about three hours riding the trains over and over again. Vince was thrilled to see so many kids there. We bought a tee shirt as well.

Edda spent a lot of time picking flowers and eating them. This was a familiar pose throughout the vacation. She loves clover. We spent a lot of time pulling flowers out of her mouth. I think she is a cow reincarnated.

Caboose riding. It had been very hot in France, but on the train riding day, it wasn’t so bad. The rest of the gang went to Lausanne, Switzerland. We went to the kid activity.
