View of Geneva and Lake from Mt Saleve

Freddie Mercury Statue in Montreux

Outside Chateau de Chillon

Hello again,

Have really enjoyed having my parents out to visit. Went to visit John's parents at their chalet in Les Marecottes on Saturday, had a nice time hanging out with them, went for a walk on Easter and had yummy traditional Swiss food - cheese fondue, rosti and plates of various meats and cheeses from the region!

In Geneva, we have done some sight seeing, went to Montreux where the famous jazz festival is held every July and also where Freddie Mercury died, hence the picture of the statue. We also went to Chateau de Chillon which is a medieval castle that dates back to the 11th century. Took the telepherique up to Mt Saleve, which is the mountain we can see from our back terrace, nice views of Geneva, the Lake and surrounding areas. Yesterday went to the Patek Phillippe museum to look at all the watches through the years. So interesting and incredible to think how intricate they are besides just keeping time to get all of the movements and complications working together. Dad was lucky that they didn't have a "gift shop" on site and the retail store was too far to walk!

Today we plan on going to the UN and tomorrow we are off to Rome! I'm only in Rome for 2 nights before they start their tour. More pics to follow I'm sure!

Love,

Dana and Ken and Barb too!
