Lucerne 1991

May 1991

I fell in love with Lucerne the minute I saw it. It’s exactly what you think a Swiss city will look like. I love the medieval buildings, gorgeous lake and white capped Alps as the backdrop. Plus the fresh, crisp mountain air was exhilarating!

It really is a pretty city.

Our first exposure to traditional Swiss music and fondue!

Fun on the lake

View from my hotel balcony!

Gabby and I are happy with our room!

We also got to see the Rhine Falls, the largest waterfall in Switzerland and Europe!

Nice & Cannes

June 1991

I love the French Riviera and Nice and Cannes were beautiful. We spent the day at the beach and having a delicious lunch on the beach. Then an afternoon of shopping and a visit to Grasse.

Ugh, our only picture at lunch has a big thumb in it!

Monaco

June 1991, Monte Carlo

I LOVE Monaco! It’s compact and easy to walk, it’s charming, gorgeous views of the Mediterranean, the Royal Palace, the Grand Prix and the Casino. We were lucky enough to be there during the Formula One Grand Orix!
