Yesterday, Claire, Gordon, and I drove over to France for some shopping and lunch. I finally found a bike after searching for one since we moved here. It's a bike that's meant for riding around the city for errands, so it has a bag rack on the back and a basket in the front. It will be perfect for our almost daily grocery shopping trips. When we got home from France, we rode our bikes up to the store to get some essentials. It was so nice to be able to ride our bikes there rather than drive. And it was so much faster than walking, of course.
This morning, Claire and I headed out to Lausanne to an English-speaking Catholic church. This was our first time there. The priest was great and all of the parishoners were very welcoming. It's amazing how a Catholic mass is the same in Switzerland as it is in Mokena. It made me feel right at home.
After church, we drove back home, changed clothes, and we all went for a bike ride to Montreux. It was about a 5 mile ride along the lake. We had lunch there and then rode back home. I am so happy that we both have bikes now and that we can go for these family bike rides. Switzerland is a very bike-friendly country, so it's easy to get around on a bike. On the way back from Montreux, Claire fell asleep in her bike seat. I put her in her crib when we got home and she's still out. We must have tired that little pumpkin out!
