Views

One of the first things you can't help but notice here is that there are some mountains. Our cats have taken to spending much of their days sitting in a chair we set up next to the window and watching these mountains. Here are a few of their views, different days and different times.

It may also have to do with the neighbor's big brown bunny playing in the yard below, and the fat calico who spends his time trying (and failing) to catch the bunny. They seem to have an understanding.

You may also see the train tracks running along next to our house. This is for the "Train des Vignes," a lovely little train that runs once an hour between Puixdoux-Chexbres and Vevey, serving the little towns in this little wine country. It arrives in Chexbres every hour at precisely 19 minutes past the hour. And I mean precisely. You don't need Mussolini to make the trains run on time, you apparently need the crazy half-socialist direct democracy that is Switzerland. Metra this ain't. More on the trains later.
