Out Thursday Evening

Ok, sorry there haven't been any posts in a few days, but Melissa and I spontaneously took a weekend trip to the Berner Oberland region of Switzerland.  The area is pretty much the quintessential Swiss Alps region.  We were pretty excited because the weather was forecast to be perfect.

So let me say a few things about last Thursday evening before moving on.  We went on a bike ride down to Lake Lucerne just so I (Eric) could get out of the apartment.  There is a small group of sheep on one of the hillsides leading down to the lake and they love to run up to you and beg for food.  (Literally run, Melissa and I both started backing away from the fence they were running with such fervor.) 

The next picture is a view across the lake to an authentic (of course) Swiss town and authentic (of course) Swiss mountain:)

Lastly, one of my favorite deserts is called Linzertorte.  It's a pastry made with an almond dough and the filling is basically a raspberry jam.  So, think almond cookie with the jam from a jelly doughnut.  Yeah, pretty much heaven on a plate.
