Mickey's the world over

Here we are, once again in the front window of McDonald's being watched by the tourists who walk by and point to the Mickey D's disquised as a real restautant. The Swiss Mickeys are pine lodge looking (Zermatt), modern sports bar (here in Interlakken) or historical landmark (Geneve). They all have outrageously priced food that is slightly better than home. They do take pains to try and blend in, though. No huge parking lots (well, there was one in Tomar,Portugal) or big golden arches. This is the subtle look. The free daily half hour of internet access is enough to pull us in every day. I drink a cup of tea, Mike has a coca cola light. 6.60 swiss francs, or approximately $5. Beats the internet cafe, though.

Today is raining, so we have been reading. I will write more this afternoon.

Bye for now.
