After we slept in and nearly missed breakfast, we walked from the hostel into town to explore. We had lunch at a river front cafe. We dipped our feet in the river. We walked through the beautiful covered bridges. We caught an afternoon boat tour of the lake. Everywhere it was clean, green, and lovely! Mountains, lakes, green forests and meadows.
If you ask Rachel her favorite thing in Switzerland, she might say the raspberry/vanilla ice cream she had just before getting on the boat. The boat was a paddle boat, but inside the boat you could watch the engine pistons run up and down. Rachel met everyone on the boat, of course!
After the boat tour, it was getting late, so we found a BBQ stand and took dinner to a park. Then we took a bus back to the hostel, and Grandma and the girls went to bed.
Jason and I went for a run and saw another sight in Lucerne: a lion carved into the rock above a lake and a nice little park. It was so nice to have Grandma be able to stay with the sleeping girls so we could get out together and do little things like this. Thanks, Grandma!
