Today we traveled to Vevey to the Saturday market. It was incredible to see the mingling of so many people and cultures in one place. I loved the variety of things they had and the dedication to buying fresh, homegrown products, so different from the American supermarkets.
We then traveled on the lake boat Vevey to Castle Chillon on Lac Leman. We gathered in the dungeon and read Byron's "The Prison of Chillon." We could hear the breaking of waves on the lake as we read. Sitting on the cold stone floor as we read brought a new experience to the reading.
Exploring the castle was beautiful and interesting because of the ancient furnisher. There was intricately carved trunks and tables and beds on display. The Swiss attention to detail is astounding and incredibly evident in everything they create.
The history of the castle and its occupants made Switzerland's dedication to neutrality clearer.
