Trip to Cow Festival



Notice the headdress and the size of the bell the cow carries. The guy's hand with the stick is not where you think it is.
Here's one of the dogs from the parade. Most of the dogs looked like Brian's dog Kylie.

Long Overdue Post

Little town of Riquewihr in the Alsace Region of France. Notice the vineyard going up the side of the hill in the background

Near Haut-Koenigbourg. Again, notice the vineyard behind us. Above the Church behind us you can see Haut-Koenigsbourg castle on top of the mountain.

Lynn & a monkey at Monkey Mountain - Lynn's the one on the left.

Cherie and a monkey - Cherie's the one on the right.

Us having lunch on the sidewalk cafe in Kaysersberg.

Kaysersberg - that's close to Strasbourg, France

This is a tower in Kaysersberg. Notice the stork's nest on top. If you look real close you can see a stork sitting in the nest. They have these kind of nests all over in this region. This is where the legend of the stork bringing the baby came from.
A cute little shop across the street from where we ate lunch in Kaysersberg.

Celebrating the 4th of July at the mission home with the other senior missionary couples.

The Chillon Castle in Montreux. Lord Byron wrote a poem about Chillon Castle.

Sitting by Lake Geneva in Montreux, Switzerland.

Strolling down the walkway in Montreux with Lynn, Elder Dooley and Sister Dooley trailing.

An old Chateau about 15 minutes drive from our apartment. Brides like to have pictures taken there.

About 15 minutes walking from our apartment there's this old Roman aqueduct ruin. There's quite a few of them within walking distance from our place.
We've never shown you a picture of the outside of our apartment building. Our living room window is the 2nd one up in the middle with the shutter down half way. Our balcony off our kitchen is the little one to the left of our living room window.

Lynn, Cherie, and Younes Chebloune. He asked Elder Thomas to baptize and confirm him.
