By mid-morning Rob and I were feeling well enough to go out, not for anything athletic mind you. We made it to one sight, the beautiful castle of Chillon in Switzerland. This castle has inspired artists and writers. If you ever get a chance, I highly recommend this place because not only is the castle beautiful, but the tour is informative as well. It was "captured" twice through out it's 1000 year history, but that's only because those who were defending it became scared and left.
This castle actually has a moat
Is Crystal short? Or is the other door really tall?

After the castle Mom and Dad Hinman took us to an entertaining and fun dinner at a restaurant called "Restaurant Edelweiss".
There was live entertainment...
Delicious food...
Great company...
Alpine horns to blow...
And spoons to play.
