Switzerland!

Ahh, the home of the Swiss Army and off-shore bank accounts. And CHARLIE, for the next few months. I had an incredible time visiting him these past few days. Here's a quick run-down:

Cheese fondue with fresh-ground pepper at the Auberge
The sounds of cowbells in the distance
Stars
QUIET

Good chats with people from all over the world
Bike ride down a mountain with incredible views
Almost sideswiped by awful French drivers :)
Cobwebs
Being warmed by the sun! SUN!
Missing Callie
Ice cream and Swiss chocolate indulgence
Sitting in the yard while the sky got dark, listening to the Postal Service and being serenaded from the 2nd story window
Grape vines shrouding doorways
Fresh cow's milk on my cereal for breakfast
Games of pool, and cards, and Fun with Dick and Jane
WARMTH... ahhhhh....

Can you believe he actually lives here?!
