Paris and “la Géode”

In September we spent a long late summer weekend in Paris.

It was the Ron Mueck’s exhibition and the friendly weather that attracted us. And we were not at all disappointed. Apart from the great art, the impressive architecture, the gardens  and the beautiful variety of people, we were pleasantly surprised by the increase of cyclists in this extraordinary city and the play areas for children along the Seine.

As my photos may show,  I was most excited about  “la Géode”, it was there in all its beauty, simply because of the Magritte-like sky.  

Sometimes you just get lucky!

Switzerland!

Of all fourteen countries in Europe we visited, Switzerland is absolutely the most beautiful, the purest and best organized place to be.  Especially in summertime, high up in the mountains,  you can find countless species of butterflies and alpine flowers while climbing on the well-marked  trails. You find yourself walking in a postcard scenery, breathing fresh air and after a few hours there’s always a nice restaurant for the odd coffee with “Apfelstrudel mit Vanillesoβe”. No wonder we keep coming back every few years to this little paradise on earth.
