cheese and chocolate all begin with the cows


to the mountains!

the ladies of Murren




earlier this spring we were lucky to have good friends erin and rob (and baby bump!) visit us in lausanne. since howie was really busy with school at the time, the rest of us took off for the mountains. i now know why the interlaken area is such a well known spot in switzerland- the views and the mountains there are amazingly beautiful!


crazy slide while waiting for our gondola



we stayed in Murren for two nights, which is a tiny town away from all the tourist activity which was great. it is well known for its cows, probably because there are more cows than people (i just made that up, but it seems true?!), perched on the steep hillsides eating grass mixed with billions of wildflowers. our b&b was amazing, and it was a good thing because we spent almost an entire day there when the skies clouded over, it started raining, then hailing, then snowing. (!)






we had great fun reading books, playing cards, napping, and when it finally cleared up, e&r played some chess while i sketched a little.




it was so much fun to have them here- since their visit we have taken all other visitors for breakfast by the lake, and picnics in the vineyards (not forgetting food!)


Rob decided I needed a real size beer



balancing act at Epesses


thank you guys for coming all the way over here for one last adventure together before parenthood :)
