Visitors!!!

Cathy and Lori arrived today from New York!!  We were so excited to see them.    They are here for a week, splitting time between Bern and Geneva.  Coincidentally (or not!), the Euro 2008 soccer championships start this week.  In fact, Cathy and Lori have tickets for the Portugal vs. Turkey game in Geneva on Saturday night.  But more on that in another post...

I met Cathy and Lori at the Bern train station around 11:30AM.  They both looked a little weary from the flight, but they were eager to hang out.  I had just come from a business trip in London, where I had purchased some gifts at the duty free shop in the airport -- a bottle of Baley's for Cathy and a bottle of Jameson for Lori.  They apparently had the same thought, as they gave us a bottle of Bailey's.  Great minds think alike, I guess.  :) With so much goodwill going around, we decided to relax at the apartment and enjoy our new "gifts" before heading out to an Italian restaurant in Old Town for dinner.  It was delicious.  Cathy and Lori are so much fun to hang out with.  It has been a long time since I've laughed that hard.  Looking forward to a great week ahead.  Here are pictures from the first day.
