ON TO ZURICH!! "THAT'S ALL RIGHT"

    SWITZERLAND  III
                 
         
Just as Geneva had been a bust, so was Lausanne. We only saw what could be seen from inside the car. And in a few minutes we would be leaving again.

                               

Soon it was dark outside. The desk clerk/agent walked up to us and whispered our ride had arrived.  He opened the front door for us.  


 Outside a small unimpressive Renault was sitting there.


                           
We couldn't believe our eyes. Larry (Mr. CIA, himself) was in the driver's seat.


 He said warmly and rather loudly, "Well, Cousin Tommy, I see you finally made it to Switzerland to visit me...this must be Charlotte, your lovely wife, I've heard so much about."


Ben got in the front seat by Larry and I sat in the back. Actually about then Larry was looking good to us...somebody from home.


No one else was in the car, so we talked freely. We asked him where in the world we were going?
Larry responded, "In just a few hours we will be in Zurich. In the morning you will catch a plane for home!!"
"For home?! " Ben and I said almost at the same moment. 


"We were trying to have a fun trip for just the two of us, Larry." Ben complained. "Now it is all ruined!"


Larry said, " Ben, you are alive, aren't you?  A hit man was caught lurking around the l'Arabesque restaurant...he was so confused by the Elvis impersonators that he dropped his gun  and was arrested right in front of our Humes friends.
                              
                       
 They are thrilled by all of it and are in the middle of celebrating all over Geneva...a delight to folks who see them.

"Well, dudn't that beat all?" I murmered!! "We didn't even see that." I whined.


In two hours we arrived in Zurich and checked in to the Baur au Lac Hotel.  
Our room 

Larry's room  

Many people knew Larry at this hotel and came to our table to say hello. We were in such a good mood, the three of us decided to stay an entire day in Zurich like real tourists.      breakfast


 v   



afternoon lunch back at the hotel looking out over the water

In parting Larry told us Geneva newspaper photographers had made pictures of the Elvis impersonator friends. Larry gave the reporters  a picture of us telling about our unusual wedding. It also would be in the Memphis Commercial Appeal, and even a blurb on Fox news. This should set to rest any likeness to a drug lord.

Who knows? Maybe Ben and I will try another trip just by ourselves...but right now I am not counting on it. And not putting it on the blog, if we do. haha. 


Then to Zurich airport and next stop       Memphis, Tennessee


Some of you traveled with us...
"YOU ARE ALWAYS ON MY MIND"
Best  wishes always, ben and annie back in memphis

 PS. below

Here is Ben in his Elvis costume and wig. Larry retrieved them and also our luggage from Hotel Wilson. Now if Ben will just take it off!! 


THAT'S ALL RIGHT, Sweet Ben, any way you do!
