When we were in Lausanne for a couple of nights on our trip, we realized that we could get to France in only 30 minutes by ferry!! How amazing is that?
Naturally, in order to feel way more cultured than we really are, we immediately high-tailed it over to Evian, France for a little day trip.

After about 7 days of eating Schnitzel and Brats, we were delighted to find salads on the menu! And not just any salads, my favorite kind! Nicoise Salad, which I was shocked to discover has rice on it when made authentically in France.
Grant got a salad, on the right below, with goat brie broiled on mini baguette pieces. It was out of this world! Then again, most things with melted cheese are.
