Julia took the day off and we drove to Yvoire, the city of flowers, in France along Lake Geneva.
Jackie and I have gone there many times. It is a tourist stop....the old part of the city was once walled for defense.
Now it is filled with small shops selling a variety of objects.
I always have lunch here, mainly because they make the best perch in butter sauce. I really have to learn to do this. The perch is in small fillets and cooked in a buttery sauce that is then spooned over the pieces.
This place serves it in a pan placed on a warming bar. That way you take what you want to eat and the rest stay warm.
It is a beautiful city. Or at least the medieval part. I don't think I have ever seen the rest of the town.
A new attraction this year for me was a solar powered boat. If I read the information correctly, the boat takes you on a 45 minute circle along the lake and allows you to glide up to ducks and swans noiselessly I just thought it was cool to have a solar powered boat.
Hope all of you are keeping cool and staying hydrated. The weather sounds like it will be a scorching hot two days
