This Reggae band was fronted by a white, Swiss guy who somehow sounded like he was from Jamaica.
The next day, we planned to drive to Neuchatel to visit Morli and her family. As we approached our car in the secured underground garage located a few blocks away, we noticed something wrong.
Sadly, Josh stayed home to deal with the car rental agency. I took the kids by train to Neuchatel. Morli is my friend Dan's sister. She grew up in Palo Alto. She married a Swiss man, Marc, and now has two kids, Celia and Noah, ages 2 1/2 and 1 1/2.
It was great to talk to her about raising kids in Switzerland. She and Marc live on this hill...
in this house.
They have great views of Lake Neuchatel.
Morli took us through the old part of town and up to the castle on Monday.
Here's the funicular that runs from the train station to downtown.

Maya insisted on taking this picture.
The view from the castle.
I finally let Maya have the camera.

Here are the alps as seen from Neuchatel.
Choosing ice cream at a cafe in the Place des Halles.
This wobbly pier on the lake freaked me out, but Maya went out on it twice.
On the train back to Zurich, we found the following headline on a newspaper that had been left on a seat.
This summer, Josh taught us all how to play poker. Maya and I playing poker on the train.

Hooray, you made it to Neuchatel! It looks beautiful in the summer. (We've never been in ice cream weather. Instead, we take the funi down for hot chocolate.) We hope you enjoyed Morli and family as much as we do. Nadav wants to know if you met Quacky.
