\tWhen we checked in, we took the advice of the desk clerk’s and made reservations for dinner at the hotel restaurant.<\/p>\n

\tYes, it looked like a tourist trap. But an amusing one. It’s a fondue restaurant complete with a yodeling accordionist and a sidekick who plays the spoons, cow bells, saw, saxophone and one of those giant horns you see in pictures of Alpine meadows with cows dotting the landscape.<\/p>\n

\tDad and I both ordered the basic cheese fondue. How can you go wrong with a bubbling bowl of melted cheese? Well, you can put funky mushrooms on top. And while it didn’t rise to the sweaty sock flavor of the cheeses from the other night, it still wasn’t exactly cheese I’d order on purpose. The fondue I’ve had in Grenoble is much better. Dad said he liked it, but ordered some meet fondue because the cheese one \u0093just wasn’t enough.\u0094 <\/p>\n

\tKaitlyn’s children’s meal of chicken nuggets and French fries might have been the best culinary bet of the night. She also ate up the evening’s entertainment. When we’d told her there would be someone playing the accordion, she said \u0093oh, like grandad… when you put coins in the case.\u0094 (I’ve taken to always giving money to an accordion playing street performer, telling her that that could be Grandad one day.) When the musician played that big giant horn thing, he asked if anyone in the audience…er… dining room.. wanted to give it a try. He graciously wiped the mouthpiece with a rag in between each eager volunteer. Kaitlyn expressed an interest, but I didn’t budge to help her put her mouth on that spitty thing.dinner-horn.jpg<\/a><\/p>\n

\tSo I learned two things tonight: you can make music with one of those horns… and you can make bad fondue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
