John and I went on a little field trip this weekend to Montreux, a little town on the other side of Lake Geneva, home to the most visited castle in Switzerland and a huge Christmas market. We were searching for better Christmas decorations. My mom and I also went here when she was visiting, but this time it was A LOT more crowded.
We walked along the lake through the very busy market…
Visited the castle prison…
Admired the views from the castle towers…
Admired the views of the castle from the ground…
And then got more hot wine…
And it was beautiful.
The highlight of the day was the carolers on stage in the large pavilion in the middle of the market. Their opening number was the not-Christmas classic, “When the Saints Go Marching In”. It went like this:
Singers: Oh when the saints…
Audience: Oh when the saints…
Singers: Go marching in
Audience: Go marching in
All together: Oh when the saints go marching in… la LA la la la la la LA LA… oh when the saints go marching in.
For three verses. But all of the “LA”s were the same, so the entire song was one sentence. And not a Christmas song. Happy holidays!
