Lucerne

Lake Lucerne


     On a long weekend a while back, Nuno and I visited Lucerne, a city about three-and-a-half hour train ride from Geneva. I have heard before visiting that Lucerne is beautiful, but sadly, the weather was rainy, cold, and at night it snowed. This prevented the gorgeous views of the mountains, since most of them were blocked with the clouds. But of course as a Chung, I tend to focus on the food and in that respect we had a good time. The best this I ate was homemade ravioli stuffed with freshly-made mozerella cheese. Purchasing highlight: purple-colored pencil lead, yeah never going back to gray. We were also able to visit a local museum where we saw mostly work from Picasso. We ended up taking a walking tour, which sadly ended up being too cold to complete. I hope to return in better weather though it still was a nice trip overall.

  1. Hey Kimmie! I want to see purple lead. It sounds super cool! :)

    Mmmm homemade raviolis are delicious!

    When I read about your museum visit I thought about all of the Picasso museums I have been to, and museums with Picasso paintings in them. So I did a little research. Picasso made about 2,000 paintings! He was a busy artist!
