Switzerland

March 31 Wed

This a.m. in Lucerne we visited the famed Lion Monument which was dedicated to the Swiss guard who lost their lives in battle. Then on to the Covered Bridge that crosses Lake Lucerne.

The scenery is beautiful. It is sunny, but chilly; around 45. It is very expensive here. Robert says their economy is booming, because they are an independent, neutral state with many investors in their banks from all over. So everything is very expensive and they have not converted to Euros, but still use francs. If you give them Euros they give you francs in change.

Visited all the famous watch stores: Rolex, Omega, Tag Heuer. That's about all I did was visit!!! Watches ranged from $5500.-32,000. Tonite is another dinner at this hotel, then off to Paris Thurs and Friday.
