Aug 2nd
Just spent the day at home, washed clothes and put them to dry. Saw a Tom Cruise movie, Edge of Tomorrow, about time loops, it was okay. Made spinach rice, came out good. Spent the rest of the day reading Girls from Ames, a book I picked up at the little free library here.
Aug 3rd
Went to church in the morning and
saw this statue carved from wood...
Then met Vinod in Coop, ate some salad and dropped him back at work...
Our plan was to drive to Montreux, but there was some delay near Morges, google maps said there was a crash and the eta kept increasing, so switched routes and drove to Nyon. Parked in a parking spot, and walked a few minutes to take the ferry to Yvoire. Ticket came to 104 chf for four adults, both ways. Which means it's 13 chf one way.
Nice sunny day for a boat ride...
Switzerland on one side and France on the other...
Houses on the way...
Me on the ferry ride...
Yvoire castle in the distance...
The ferry ride was pleasant, got off at Yvoire and it was crowded but still pretty as ever.
Lovely day to explore this beautiful village in France...
Every corner is like a postcard here...
Windows overflowing with greenery...

Walked back took the 18:10 ferry and drove back home. An aesthetically beautiful village, makes one wonder how beautiful the whole world would be if we could tune in to nature... let her be our guide and live with her immense beauty surrounding us. We visited Yvoire back in 2013, it wasn't this crowded then... click the link to see more pics.
