Switzerland / France Day 2

After a full breakfast at the hotel, we caught the train back into Zurich.  We stored our luggage and met up wtih a classmate of John and Susan's, Jens.  Short story is that Jens was a Foreign Exchange student when John and Susan where in high school in Oklahoma.  They had recently celebrated their 50th class reunion and Jens was there.  That's when the conversation started about us being in Switzerland and Jens invited us to spend the afternoon with him.  What a delightful afternoon.  The weather was perfect for our strolls around the hillside getting to Jens home.  Jens found us wondering the streets.
 On of our stops was a cemetery.  The most immaculate kept cemeteries I have ever seen.  Susan loved it but she loves cemeteries.

 We arrive at his home and he has wine waiting for us.  Love this man!  He let us roam his home.  Very unique....
 Kathy out in the yard finding all kinds of things.
 The picture Jens is holding was taken when he was 17 yrs.  John and Susan's task was to find the picture in his home. 
 We sat down to a spread of a variety of cheese, bread and meats.  And of course....wine.
Need to rush to catch our train out of Zurich to hotel in Lauterbrunnen . Look at those mountains in the back ground.  So majestic and beautiful.
 Our home sweet home for a few nights, Hotel Silberhorn.
 The views from our hotel were breathtaking.
 Dinner at the hotel and crash for the evening.  Another long fun filled day...and this is just day 2!
