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

Paris. 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.
