Marlowe's
visit to Switzerland,
June-July 2007
Newly
graduated from university, soon to be off to job-hunting, Marlowe visits the Old
Dad in Switzerland.
Marlowe's
Chillon
You
may not find this terribly rewarding unless you're included here, so this is a
good time for casual and random browsers to turn back before they get too caught
up in the sweep and majesty of the proceedings and can't let go.

June 2007: whilst the Old Dad is at work, Marlowe revisited all the old scenes
at the Château de Chillon -- here from the walk along the lakeside from
Montreux. The highway viaduct runs along behind it, up the mountainside -- it
was nearly brand new when I arrived here in Switzerland, but was recently reduced
to one lane for nearly a year for periodic renovations.

These
are some of Marlowe's best shots, which I've got because she was using my camera
-- she's not responsible for the captions at all.
