Long Dog Walk....yes this is the life of a House Husband!

While Nicole was hard at work....me and the dogs went for a nice long walk down to Lake Geneva.  These are the pictures I took in the attempt to capture our afternoon.  We walked about 4 or 5 miles and went from old town Montreux, past vineyards, along the boardwalk of the lake, and ended up at a 13th century castle "Chateau de Chillon."  The whole walk pretty much went without a hitch, minus the part where we had to go in a tunnel that took us under railroad tracks.  Strider firmly believed that I was attempting to drop him down into the pits of hell and was not ready to go....needless to say after 5 minutes of swiss construction workers laughing at me, I was finally able to force him into "the pits" and cross the 20 ft. tunnel.  Much to Strider's surprise...we made it out alive and were able to continue on our beautiful walk. 

View of Montreux from the castle....we live up the hill behind the tower.

Strider extremely happy to be alive after surviving the tunnel!

It's no squirrel...but Strider and Baron were just as interested!

Our street....don't know the biker man.

The water in the lake is super clear!

The water was a little cold for Strider, but  Baron refused to get out!
