Flash back bu;ttonKaren, Lee and Brian Duquettetime running backwards
in Lausanne and Ouchy, Switzerland
July 26, 1984

Lausanne sign
typed lable about Lausanne

The people in Lausanne were very friendly. They spoke French, but also English. Most of the food here was excellent, especially the veal dishes.

One morning, Karen, Lee and Brian Duquette decided to eat breakfast at a McDonalds. But this McDonalds did not serve breakfast because they did not even open until 10:00 a.m. But despite being hungary, none of us wanted another Continental breakfast. The only breakfast food served at this McDonalds was Egg McMuffins, which they call Mac CEuf (with the capital C and E touching each other). Karen is not sure how it is pronounced.

The McDonalds menu also included hamburgers, Big Mac, Cheeseburgers, Cheeseburger Royal and Hamburger Royal. All of which were written on the menu is such a way that looked English to Karen. Also, Mac le Marin (a fish sandwich), Frites (fires), Chausson Aux pommes (drinks), Cafe (the only American coffee Karen found in Europe and it sure tasted extra good!!!) But the biggest surprise was that McDonalds also served WINE!

Karen Duquette took the above pictures inside McDonalds of the French signs, etc. mostly to send to her daughter Renee who manages a McDonalds in Florida, and to show her that they serve wine. Maybe Renee can have fun with the pictures at break time at work with her co-workers.
