The one obvious downside of living in Europe is being so far away from close family and friends. As a result, whenever I have visitors in Lausanne it is a very exciting time. Today Garrett (one of my best friends from college) and his wife Paige arrived for a two day visit to start off their European vacation.
After a tour of the new apartment, we headed down to the lake. Though it had been overcast for most of the day, we were fortunate as the sky finally cleared, which made for a very nice afternoon. We stayed until around sunset before heading back.

Before dinner we went to the White Horse Pub, which is a couple of blocks from my apartment. It’s a nice spot to grab a drink and has outdoor seating that is perfect for when the weather is nice.
For dinner we went to the restaurant at Chateau D’Ouchy. Construction on what ultimately became the chateau began in the 12th century, and over the years it has served as a fortified residence, a prison and, most recently, a hotel. The dinner itself was very good and the ambiance provided for a nice atmosphere to spend time with friends. Here’s a picture of the chateau at dusk.
