Ida’s Notebook Ida Risser My last night in Paris turned out to be pleasant despite a slow start. Most of our group went to a nightclub for $4B per person, while some of us were left to entertain ourselves. After a quiet meal with a couple from Vermont, who decided to retire at 8 p.m., I started on a walk around our hotel. It remains light in Europe until almost 10:15 p.m. I met another couple who was just gomg out to eat and they asked me to join them I very much wanted to sit m a cane-seated chair at a cafe on the sidewalk and eat and sip a drink as is the traditional thing to do in Your Headquarters For M SYSTEMS PEOPLED Gram Equipment />< GRAIN SYSTEMS, INC.

Now was my opportunity. Although, as it was late, we had to inquire at three different places before we finally were served outside. The temperature during our whole trip was a cool 65 to 75 degrees. Next morning we traveled through the wine-growing regions of France into the Jura Mt. section of Switzerland It was a long, ten hour drive on the Autobohn to Neuchatel where a banquet meal awaited us. It was quite fancy and included onion soup, a big salad, roast beef with mushrooms and a pasta. The dessert served over a two hour period was a nun cake with custard and fruit. We caught our first glimpse of the beautiful snow-covered Alps and 'tiny villages with narrow streets where each house has colorful flower boxes at the win dows There small gardens con tained onions, lettuce, beans, Swiss chard and red currants. The farmers only mow small pieces of hay at one time on the steep hillsides and then dry it on small wooden triangular racks. We were told that is their soil erodes, then they carry it back up the hills again. Our bus took us to the wood carving village of Bnenz where we could shop. In the afternoon we took a very clean Swiss train for a smooth trip into the Simmen Valley. We were privileged to go high up into a summer pasture and see the chalet that the herdsman shares with the cattle. The one end of the farmer’s bam was protected not only by avalanche fences high on the mountain but also by a stone gable end and a stone roof. We heard the tinkling of cow bells and saw a prize Simmental bull. After touring the farmer’s home in the village, we were served wine and cheese a very dry cheese that was sliced on a slaw board.
