A trip to Montreux

We decided today to head to downtown Montreux. The ride was nice and not too long - 1 hour. We got to see some of the mountains and SUNSHINE! We haven't seen that for awhile and it felt sooooo good!

Montreaux has one of the biggest Christmas Fairs in Switzerland and everything is set up on the shore of Lake Geneva.


We were having some fun!
There were quite a few "trolls" around the fair. I don't know how they are associated with Christmas. I'll have to ask about that.

We were enjoying the view in the following picture. We were also happy to get away from the crowd for a little bit. It was very busy!
Jason snapped a nice family picture. It's hard to see the mountains in the back due to the haze. Once the sun started going behind the mountains, it cooled off very quickly.

We ended the trip watching the men play the Alp Horns. Here is a sample.
