We visited another church on Sunday – this time a French-speaking one. We sat in the back while two people translated for us. We also sang some French praise songs. I did much better at picking up the gist of things at this church so that was encouraging. Maybe I really will understand all this French someday!
After church, we had a picnic lunch out to Lake Gruyeres with the Burgess Family. Kacey played in the water and the men threw BIG rocks into the Lake. We then drove rather aimlessly through the mountains and came out on Lake Geneva and yet another castle. Coming down the mountain vineyard after vineyard covered the sloped ground. It must have been good wine country! That evening we ate at a very good Italian restaurant where Tom and I again discovered the inconviences of not understanding every word you read. We ordered the menu option that promised to feed two people. It included salad, pasta, entrée and dessert for a very reasonable price. The food came, we ate, and got very full. Dave, Lu and Kacey had to help us eat everything. At this point, we’re thinking, “wow, what a great deal!” Then we get the check. Somehow there was a miscommunication and we had ordered 2 of the meal that served 2 people and were charged accordingly. Not only was our bill double what we had expected, we had eaten enough food for 4 people!!
