And from even further afield, last week Nana and Wayne flew in from Missouri to enjoy the Swiss life. After a day or two of wandering around Zurich......
.......we went to France.
All aboard the very clean and well below capacity Swiss train.
Switzerland is surprisingly close to France - from Zurich you can be in Basel in less than an hour, and at the train station you can walk through a doorway to platforms 30-35, and immediately arrive in France - there is a big sign saying 'France' above the door, so that you know. Once in France, we boarded a (Significantly less clean, older and overcrowded) French train to take us to Colmar in Alsace. Immediately upon boarding and leaving the station a French man got up and started to play the accordion. I do not think he was being paid by the French tourist board either.
As you can see, Colmar looks very French. It is where the man who made the Statue of Liberty came from.
Here is Bluet enjoying a delicious French pain au raisin.

During this trip Bluet somehow became fascinated with going inside churches ("You have to be quiet in the church") and looking upwards at the beautiful stained glass windows.

| This religious art is crazy and surreal and quite good |

| This religious art is rubbish |

| OK, I'm done with museums. Can we go home now please? |
French playgrounds are great - there were no swings, no roundabout and the see-saw could be worked by one kid alone - so no swing pushing or see-sawing or roundabout spinning for the parents - perfect!
