Right now, I'm looking over the lights of montreux. During the day, it's one of the best views I've ever seen, but during the evening, it's just as interesting. So many different colored lights out there, and they shine like jewels; The only jewels I really have an interest in.
Yesterdday, I ate something called a malakoff...fried cheesy goodness. I'm not doing it justice if i call it only "fried cheese." You get a piece of bread, put on a cheese batter dough (I couldn't quite figure out how they made it, and the only reason they'd ever give you the recipe if they plan on killing you later.), and then deep fry. One wouldn't be enough, two is just right, but three might cause your heart to claw its way out of your chest and run screaming for its life.
I think we've managed to finish off at least four bottles of wine in two days. That's the nice thing about this area of switzerland, as you can't throw a rock without hitting a vineyard. And it ain't even half bad.
In Europe, the reaction to the election was just as I expected: devasted and disappointed. I'm amazed about how much coverage Europe gave to the election. We spent all of yesterday talking about the election and making fun of bush.
There's a headline in Britain's Daily Mirror that says "How can 59 million people be so dumb?"
I have a bit more to write, but not tonight.
