| Chocolate aisle in supermarket |
This morning we woke up to another excellent breakfast at the Giger home. Eliane had gone out to the bakery and
brought back a variety of fresh croissants, rolls and breads for breakfast. As usual, there was a variety of meats,
cheeses, eggs, jams yogurts, fruit, etc. on the table, in addition to juice and
coffee. There was nothing more
that Gail and I could have possibly asked for. After breakfast we all took a walk into the town of Gossau
browsed at some shops and stopped in a few grocery stores. I love going into grocery stores in
other countries, to see the variety of food as well as the way things are displayed
and packaged. The chocolate aisle
alone could make your eyes pop ………… fantastic varieties of wonderful Swiss
chocolate. I stopped into a
Volkswagen dealer in town to browse the cars and was very surprised at how
expensive the vehicles were; a lot more than in the United States. Once we
complete our shopping, we returned to the Giger home for some relaxation. The past three days we spent partying
in Munich, so this was a perfect day to just chill out and relax. In the afternoon we played a variety of
board games, had some great laughs and talked about life and the world. For dinner, Eliane prepared a typical
Swiss raclette dinner. The dinner
was excellent, and as good as it was when Eliane made us raclette when we
visited them in 2007. The rest of
the evening was more relaxing, chatting and laughing with good friends!
We
have had an incredible week with the Giger family and are very sad to be
leaving them. They have treated us
like family and they could not have done more to make Gail and I comfortable.
We had so much fun together and are hoping they will soon visit us in the
states. It is hard to believe that
tomorrow we are picking up our rental car and heading to the Black Forest in
Germany and then onto the Alsace-Lorraine area of France. Time goes on so fast!!
