Lausanne

I returned to Switzerland on a flight from Athens to Geneva via Paris. Charles de Gaulle airport wouldn't win any prizes for organization or design either. The morning after I arrived back at JJ's I pulled a muscle in my lower back. That put the kabosh on any plans I had for a long promenade along the lake. And it is too bad, because the weather was glorious. I barely managed to hobble down to the supermarket on the first day. On the second I made myself walk (slowly, slowly) down to Ouchy and back. Later in the evening, feeling much better, I hiked up to the high city which is crowned by the 13th century Cathedral of Notre Dame. The light was still sufficient to take a few pics. Lausanne enjoys one of the loveliest settings of any city in the world.
