Yesterday, we slept in late and Pascal and Adriana made us a great breakfast. Their place in Thun has a great view of the Berner Oberland Alps, always a nice backdrop from their dining room table. After breakfast, I headed out for a jog along the Aar river in Thun and then ran some stairs up to a viewpoint above the city. It was nice to get some exercise in after so much indulgence over the last few days.
As the early afternoon approached, we all walked over to the other side of town to where Pascal's father (Walter) lives and borrowed his car for the 15 minute drive to Thomas and Erika's beautiful Swiss Chalet in Aeschlen, Switzerland. Aeschlen is between Thun and Interlaken and resides above the Thunersee (Lake Thun) and is about as breathtakingly beautiful as a Swiss village can be.
We hung out on Thomas and Erika's patio overlooking the lake and alps and enjoyed bacon-wrapped dates and other appetizer's and wine, and did a lot of laughing as we remembered our day in Geneva and our cow costumes. After a short walk around their picture perfect hillside village, we came back to their chalet and Thomas fired up the grill. Thomas and Erika are quite the hosts, and Thomas is quite the cook.
We feasted on salmon, T-bone steak, corn, salad from their garden, and other yummy food. Thomas entertains like I do, serving lot's of food and wanting no help in the kitchen. Everything was amazing, and as usual we all sat at the dinner table with lots of laughter until our sides hurt! The seven of us really, really click and I can't wait until we all head to Greece in a few days! Today we leave for Luzern for the day and will be joined by a buddy of Pasci's. I've been to Luzern before and love the city, so I am excited for Dan and Terri to see it.
