William Tell and His Bow

Because of the holiday the Lourve was closed.

Mary was impressed with the French pastry
that tasted just as good as it looked. 

Horrible coffee, good chocolate & delicious thick soups. 
Beautiful clothes with prohibitive prices.

We boarded the Albert Express for Switzerland 
with a bottle of wine and a big bag of pastries. 

Take me back to Paris, I can’t stand the fresh air and healthy people of Switzerland

Arrived in Lucerne with time to enjoy the fountains in all the squares — 
they were boarded up a couple days later. 

Delicious cheese fondue, murals painted on the old houses,
a quaint town for William Tell, with his bow and barefooted boy.

A Train from The Alps to Venice. 
Train to Florence, Hotel Majestic,
whole city is an art Gallery.

Michelangelo square, mosaic jewelry, leather goods. 
Flores Hotel in Rome, Vatican, Parthenon.

St. Paul without the walls, St. Peters in chains,
Nightclub tour of the city, Old Appian way,

Capuchin Church with all the bones...
