la Suisse chez les Wild

We got off the train at Basel, Switzerland then rented a car at the nearby airport which is actually in France (Mulhouse). We (Deena - as Ted has no driver's license now) drove a couple of hours to Mex, near Lausanne, to visit our friends the Wilds. The are actually posted in Brussels at the moment, but are home for summer vacation. It's been almost 2 years since we saw them and everybody is excited.

They built a pizza oven a year ago - and it will be put to the test as they are having a party today. Good timing on our part eh! We actually knew beforehand. After some napping the assembly line kicked in with Annick supplying the input while Claude basked in the glory of the delicious output . Their friends also brought some yummy food. Despite one very tough pizza dough critic the pizza was a huge hit with the true connoisseurs even with the sporadic help from the hopeless .

After the pizza les garçons jouent au Foot . Eventually the girls joined in too . Then Claude pulled out the meat from the other outdoor oven that is connected to the Pizza oven . Now for some serious eating. The kids had their own table away from the adult table . It was SOOO delicious .

After dinner Eleanore, Frederica, and Francesca put on a cool gymnastics show which the boys missed as they were off lost in space somewhere. Then Annick started to rock out and dancing and Claude stole Deena and before you knew it we were dealing with a hoedown only to be topped off with some good ole fashion limbo .
