Today we went to a little tour of the lakes region in the jura mountains, which are considerably lower than the Alps, about 2000 feet, but nonetheless impressive. Lots of exposed spances of granite and some intriguing waterfalls. When i get back i will post and show photos, i am reluctant to try to upload especially on this computer.
Tomorrow we are off to a town Called Basecon, or something like that, It's a big town. There's supposed to be a little tail on the 'c" but I have no idea where it is on this keyboard.
The food has been glorious. Today we had a mold of duck and mushroom, fresh pike, a sampler of cheeses; I asked the waiter to give me a little sample of each type they had and then asked him the order in which i should eat them. They were great---the last one was soupy in substance and was like a distillation of garlic...really nice. And then we had chocolate mousse for dessert. Each course was coupled with an appropriate selection of three different Jura wines, which are quite different from the wines in the north.
It has been more exhausting on this GSE that the one to india----India at least allowed for some time for Internet access and rests during the day---this has been just going and going...we have only had the time to email and post these past two days.
it's been terrific, wonderful food, wine and things to see and do. Everyone has been terrific. We presented that blasted Amish basket to Pierre at the District Conference in front of the whole congregation. Pierre was pleased and we simultaneously said from "District Governor Mary Berge". By the bye----he and every club president has loved the RINO pins....they delight when we explain the meaning and pass them to their members. They are a hit.
