France

I actually didn't expect to like Paris.  It was one of our first big city vacations.  We only went because the airfare to Paris was cheaper than Germany.  So we only had 2 days there, but they were wonderful.  It drizzled some of the time, which made it even more perfect for walking the city and the banks of the Siene.

Switzerland

We only went into Switzerland for the day, then realized we could not do it justice and would come back another day.  We met with some vendors Glen knew from work, and went to the ancient town of Buchs.
