July 28, 2011 - Day 2 in Switzerland


Today Rosmarie took Sara to her riding stable and Sara was a given a horseback lesson. Riding a horse is a lot harder than it looks! There were many kittens around the barns, so that was an added bonus to Sara's adventure. We went to the salt water spa after lunch. All of the pools there have salt water, which of course makes you very bouyant. There are many jets throughout the pool area - so you can relax and get "massaged". There is an area called the dead sea pool. There is so much salt in there (just like the dead sea), you easily float on the water on your back. And when you put your ears in the water you can hear music. It was very lovely - however, at first it did remind me of the cave in the Harry Potter book where a bunch of dead people were floating (if you are a Harry Potter fan, you would know what I am referring to). Kind of spooky!

For lunch we had pasta, roasted vegetables with some cheese and cream, and meatballs (ground beef, onion, seasonings, ketchup and mustard). The "meatballs" were very tasty. Dinner was light - tuna (actually made with real fish bought at the store today), eggsalad, home made bread and cheese. We went to a cousins house for dessert which was fabulous - fruit salad, soft icecream, home made whipped cream and an italian cake. I didn't take a picture of dessert, as I didn't want to embarrass our hostess. It was delicious and now I wish I took a picture as they way she displayed the food was really good as well.

  1. Is cheese served with most meals?

  2. Yes, cheese is served along side or in most meals here. I asked my cousin if he ever drank milk growing up - and he said "not much at all." So I guess, they get their calcium from all the cheese they eat.
