While I was at school and Diego at work they enjoyed nice walks around the neighborhood exploring the area and one day we ran into each other in downtown Geneva...that was pretty cool!
On Saturday 17 October we took off with destination Gruyères to enjoy the beautiful autumn colors, explore a bit and have our first fondue. We stopped along the way to admire the spectacular views of the lake, the infamous Swiss vineyards and take in some fresh crisp air.

Beautiful countryside just reaching Gruyères.

On Sunday we had a nice walk around Geneva and lunch in the old town. It was really windy in Geneva the week they were here and they were unable to see the famous Geneva Jet. I told them that it was a clear sign they will have to come back!

Wow! Great pictures! The alien sculpture is a little weird, but the countryside was amazing!
I love the pictures! So beautiful. I think we may have to visit :)
Now I am going to go purchase some Gruyere and consume with wine tonight (maybe something Spanish) and think of you.
