Big P had to work yesterday so Val! and I took a train ride (The train we rode was a Golden Pass train with a panoramic window! ) to Lenk – 20 minutes away, and walked on snow paths back toward Zweisimmen for about 4 miles before getting on a train for the rest of the trip.  So pretty!!!

We stopped and got some groceries then came back to Big P’s. I took a nap before we went to dinner at Appaloosa.  It’s a TexMex restaurant and was actually better than lots of places in NY.  I got a chicken enchilada that was primarily cheese – and you know how well the Swiss do cheese.  :)  Val! and I also had a margarita each and they were fantastic – but super tiny for $12 (or $18?) Swiss Francs.  Once again, Big P and Roger refused to let us help with the bill.  It’s really sweet of them.  I told them they would live like Kings in America.  My enchilada (1!!!), for instance, was somewhere between $20-$30.  Crazy town.

We got back to Big P’s and talked about music and listened to different songs/watched videos til nearly 4 AM.  It was so much fun! :) We also talked about our family names and how they’ve changed and where his family originally came from (somewhere in the French speaking area of France).

Today we’re going to Interlaken to be tourists, then sledding with Big P and Roger.  The wind is too strong for skiing (35 M/hr).  More updates to come!

Update: Sledding may be nixed because it is too wet (raining this morning), so we shall see! Tourist time :)
