Michael and Mel, Day 3 Luzern, Switzerland

First stop, the grocery store. We bought fruit, peppers, tomatoes, cheese, rolls, candy, pretzels, yogurt and chips. Then we gassed up the car and headed for Luzern.

We went first to Lowendenkmal to see the amazing lion sculpture in the rock.

The boys' first look at the lion.

We walked to the lake. We were lucky because the weather cleared up. We had a few scattered rain drops, but mostly just cloudy skies for the rest of the day.

Sam and Simon enjoyed watching the swans.

Sam really liked this boat with the dragon on the front.

We walked across the wooden bridge, the Kapellbrucke, with it's lovely paintings on the eaves.

Then we crossed another long bridge.



Sam learned about the locks that lovers put on the bridges in Europe to lock in their love.

That inspired a big kiss.

Simon is quite the photographer.

More ice cream!

Then we drove past the Zurich Sea and through the mountains. We stayed in a beautiful three-story home--Gastehaus Weber. We had the whole top floor. Michael and Mel and Bob went off to find some food. I stayed with Sam and Simon, and we had some much needed down time in our jammies. Sam built a cool ship with Legos, and Simon and I played catch with his stuffed animal. 

In the morning, we woke up refreshed to the sound of cow bells and these beautiful mountains.
