Switzerland Part 2: Vevey 2

On Saturday, we walked down to Vevey and visited the market, had a cup of coffee (or for me a bottle of Sinalco) at a cafe facing the main square, and then took Sophie to the playground down by the lake. I didn't end up taking many of the market, but I wish I had taken some of the square. It's a beautiful square, with smaller mountains to it's back and the lake and the French & Swiss Alps to it's front. The houses are old and full of character, with their typical Swiss shutters on every window. It's surrounded by quaint cafes and small pedestrian streets with boutiques and more cafes.

 As we let Sophie roam in the playground, we discovered a small fountain nearby. There were a bunch of kids in their bathing suits jumping in. We barely had time to strip Sophie before she jumped in herself and had a blast of a time walking around the freezing water of the fountain. She desperately wanted to go in the deeper end like the bigger kids had, but of course, that was not going to happen for her! It was a really nice morning: swiss3 IMG_7208 swiss2 IMG_7196
