One of the joys of traveling with Caitie is she loves to share meals with me. One of us usually orders a big salad and the other a main dish and we share them while Mike, who doesn't like to mix tastes, orders whatever hits his fancy. He had a Daviola pizza, his favorite. Think pepperoni and olives on a paper this crust. Caitie and I had a similar pizza with mushrooms instead of olives. She had a small green salad and I had a huge Caprese salad. It was a great meal.
All in all, Switzerland is wonderful although hugely expensive. For example:
- 1/2 hour of internet $8
- hotel night $200-250
- pizza for one $17
- Big Mac $11.30
- 3 small Starbucks lattes $19.85
- bottle of wine in the store $7- 15
You can see why our motto has been to eat light and drink wine instead!
After lunch Mike worked on e-mail and Caitie and I wondered around town. Pietro, Caitie's boyfriend meets up with us tonight, so we are all excited to see himCheck our photos of Switzerland...

Yeah, but is the $7 bottle of wine any good? It would be sweel here in the states ~ similar to $2 buck chuck! Anyway, your travels sound delightful. I can just imagine you and Caitie going on long walks and enjoying the gorgeous scenary and all that life has to offer. What a great time to remember and a joy to carry in your hearts forever! Well, keep up the blogging - enjoying every minute of it. We're approaching the low 70's by weekend - fabulous Colorado weather with clear skies and the first sign of spring (green and buds) starting to show. Love you guys a lot and miss you. Love, me
Yo! I received a nice e-mail from Mike (thank you) and just wanted to say "hi." I'm not able to retrieve your photos for some reason. Hmmm. I suppose I'll see them when you get home. Maybe you can do a slide show? Lisa was up at your house after work yesterday and watered the plants. She says they're blooming and are gorgeous. And, it's nearly 70 degrees today and absolutely stunningly gorgeous. I can relate to what Mike said about the mountains in Switzerland. I'm sure they are spectacular but when you live in CO it just doesn't seem as grand. We live in such a wonderful location that traveling sure makes you appreciate your own home. Anyway, continue to have fun. It cracked me up that Mike and "P" were going to a gun show!! Big Bob would be proud!! Love you guys, me
