August 1: Swiss National Holiday

Fireworks in Sion, Valais

 

 

A walk by the lake: Lac Léman, Switzerland

I love walking by the lake during my lunch break.  I work very close to this beautiful place.

Yesterday, it was very warm outside.  There were some people swimming or just lounging in the shade.

This lake is named Lac Léman and is located in Switzerland.

Where I take my walks is in Ouchy.  As you can see, the streets are very clean.  This is how it is in the majority of Switzerland.

Fondue à la tomate

Cooking and baking are a couple of my favorite hobbies.  So, you will see many posts here on food, dining, cooking and baking.


This winter, for the first time, I prepared a "fondue à la tomate".  It's cheese fondue with tomato sauce and it's usually eaten with boiled potatoes.  The original cheese fondue, which can be made with different types of cheese including Gruyère,  is one of Switzerland's national dish.  It's also well-known in France.  And, it's eaten with bread.
