Like seeing a giant duck. At least I think it was a duck. It quacked like a duck. But it didn't look like a duck.
Well.....you be the judge:
Yes, I know what you are thinking: What the heck???
I watched this man set up a stool, unpack his blanket and mask, put it on, and just sit there, quacking at people who went by in downtown Vevey.
He never said a word, he just quacked.
And if you put money in his basket, he quacked a lot and nodded thanks to you.
It was actually quite entertaining. Some kids stopped and touched his beak, while others just waltzed by like he didn't exist.
Julia and I went to lunch at a restaurant called Charlie's down on the lake shore. It is the only restaurant directly on the shore....been there for years.
I had my favorite meal here: butter fried perch and fries, with a salad.
Jackie and I used to go to Yvoirre in France for lunch and I would order that at La Pirate, and was never disappointed. Today's was good, but I miss the Yvoirre trips.
And Emily and John, notice the weather is very sunny. Following Monday's dreary day, the sun felt very nice today.
So, Julia and I spent the day wandering the streets of old Vevey. Jackie did not feel up to making the trip to town, so I spent money like a mad man without her.
Lunch. Coffee. Chocolate......the francs were flying!
I also went to the market and wandered around there for a while. But I am posting those pictures to Facebook as an album.
Just seems easier.
And tomorrow I have to pack and weigh suitcases. This could be close. If I have time, I may take one final walk for this year.
