Suisse: sunflowers and tobacco

Such a cute house. I had to take a picture from the car window

25th B-day lunch

French boys can cook! Jumbo scallops with a creme fraiche pistachio sauce with salad and white beer. So good that I am still craving it...

Boat ride around Saut du Doubs

One part of the river is french and the other is swiss

Back in Franche-Comte France

We went on a bike ride around the small towns next to his (La Chaux de Gilley) in Haut Doubs

Typical architecture for Xavier's region. The chiminey is called a tuyé (a large smoking chimney). They smoke the salt meats: brési (dried smoked beef), Morteau sausage, Luxeuil ham, Montbéliard sausage, and Ballon des Vosges smoked shoulder.

We had a picnic over looking Lac Sant Pont before having a swim

Chateau Joux

Opening Olympic Day

In the spirit of the start of the games, I went down to the lake to the Olympic Museum to check it out and join the count down until the ceremony began while Xavier was at Nestle.
