Favorite Photos from Lac Leman

One night last week Amy and I strolled along the waterfront in Montreux. I stopped every now and then to snap a photo. I have not altered the color a bit. One of them I cropped out a construction crane. Otherwise these are unaltered and I love them.



That night we also had a light dinner at a great restaurant right on the water, the Palais Oriental. It is beautiful -- the building is a work of art in itself -- and serves fine Lebanese, Moroccan and Iranian food. It was quite a cultural experience. As we were leaving at about 10 p.m. the first wave of diners dispersed and Arab families came in in droves. Next to us two young men sat quietly and watched two tables full of beautiful young women talk and throw back their shrouded heads in laughter. It felt like we were in Morocco or Istanbul or Iran, not Montreux.

On Tuesday Amy worked in the afternoon and our Australian friend, Jen, and I walked around in Vevey, headquarters of Nestle and where she lives. Great town.
