Our First Visitor!!

Sandra Moffett came to visit us for 2 weeks =) We were both very excited to have her and enjoyed showing her around Basel and getting her acclimated to Europe. She went to several museums, the local roman ruins and the zoo and saw many Basel landmarks (basilisks, ferry, three kings corner, the munster, etc.). We all went for trip up into the mountains, did a little hiking, and had cheese fondue for dinner. It seemed that all roads led to Luzerne as she was there several times over once to see the city and another time with Nancy to see an example of the Swiss military forts built into the sides of mountains (of which there are 15,000!), we also spent a nice day in Bern. A lovely drive thru the France took us to Luxemburg to the American Cemetery where Sandra’s uncle, a Medal of Honor winner, is buried – a very humbling experience. On the way home we came back through Germany to visit the Heidelberg castle and a trilling drive on the autobahn! Finally, we took a trip to Italy to soak up some sun, pasta, gelato and wine.
