Today after church we decided to take a walk around our village. There is not a lot to see....after all the population of Bassins is only around 900 people. Here are a few pictures from our walk.

In many of the Swiss villages they have these fountains. We haven't figured out what they are used for, but we passed 6 of them on our 1/4 mile walk. Since this is Switzerland we thought they'd be full of chocolate. But alas....freezing cold water.
Ruby and Alex trying to make a collect call to anyone who speaks English. I told them that Mama Linda is the only one I know who still accepts collect calls.
If you can read this sign it says Ruelle de la Repentance...translated means Alley of Repentance. I guess this is the real reason Pete brought me to Switzerland.

Paige and I are not 100% sure but I think that those fountains are drinking water. You can go and fill up your water jugs and take it home! And it will suprise you to know that I actually drank out of these in Italy.
How fun! It looks so beautiful! It's great to hear about your adventures--I'm sure there will be many more to come. We miss you guys.
