Re: European Vacation I
In Response To: Re: European Vacation I ()

: Tonight is the end of week two of the vacation. We made it back
: into Switzerland today, after spending the night in Chamonix. We
: drove Tuesday's Tour de France stage on Wednesday - what a trip.
: Tonight we're staying in a Hostellerie in the walled chateau
: town of Gruyere. Passed on the Raclette in town for a simple
: meal of bread, cheese (Gruyere, of course), assorted dried
: meats, and a delicious local red wine, taken in our room looking
: out over the hills of the region with some distant thunderstorms
: happening.

: Tomorrow morning we go to Le Chaux-de-Fonds for our arranged visit
: to the Heuer Museum. I really can't wait - like a child on
: Christmas eve.
: Report to follow.

: Oh, and the Verona 110.215G got the nod for this trip, dressy
: enough for the wedding at the end of the month, and still a
: microrotor chrono.

: Bruce B
: Seattle

Sounds like a great trip Bruce- I'm heading over to France in September for three weeks and am very much looking forward to some clean air and good, simple French food.

Good choice with the Verona.

Enjoy your holiday and please report back on the museum visit
