Lucerne

Lucerne was picture-perfect and pleasant in every sense, aside from the very cold temperature.

Our hotel was beautiful and perfect - it had all of the ambience and comforts we hoped for, with none of the European quirks we hoped to avoid (thank you to Vicki and Roland for the great recommendation).

I learned on this trip that Jaime is really into swans.

Our room had a balcony with a table and two chairs that overlooked the Jesuit church, the river and the lake. We didn't spend a lot of time out there, due to the temperature, but we went out often to check out the view in the changing light.

We took a detour deeper into the alps on the way back to Germany and happened upon this lake.
