an accidental weekend in Lausanne

We were set to meet a friend in Lausanne (on Lake Geneva, in the French part of Switzerland) while he's here for a conference, until we realized it isn't happening until July. Oh well! Off we went anyway.

looking out over Lake Geneva

Lausanne is a very steep city, which means many levels of transit

this wine-swilling man made me smile

Cafe de Grancy - yum! Except the coffee....

definitely the coolest playground I've ever been in

strolling through the park

moss growing on stones is one of my favorite pieces of Swiss life

moss + ferns - even better

purple poppies

I could have identified these shortly after taking the photo, but now...

carnivores!

fairgrounds by the lake

If we have children, Nick and I decided this would be the first stop at an amusement park. It's totally safe and really tuckers out the little ones. Also, hilarious tumbles galore.

tee-hee

We were lucky the forecast was wrong, but there was still quite a haze.

This guy landed just after I raised my camera to photograph the sculpture.

Maybe they could add more hanging flower baskets, don't you think?
