This is a good sized medal meas. approx. 2.75 x 1.75 inches. Top bar reads "CALIFORNIA" at center with "BAKER'S above and REGT." below. Pin is present on back. Attached to the top bar is a red, white and blue ribbon which is torn ¾ of the way through. The reason the ribbon is torn is because of the weight of the large 2nd Corps badge attached to it. This badge is inscribed with a large "71" at center while inscribed in the arms of the club are the words from left to right "PENNSYLVANIA, SURVIVORS, VOLUNTEERS." Except for the tear to the ribbon the medal is in very nice shape.
The 71st Pennsylvania was raised by Senator Edward D. Baker, in Philadelphia. Baker had lived in California and asked permission of the War Department to call his regiment the "California Regiment". After Baker's death at the Battle of Ball's Bluff in late 1861 the name of the regiment was changed to the 71st Pennsylvania. After Ball's Bluff the regiment became part of the "Philadelphia Brigade" in the 2nd Corps, Army of the Potomac, and fought with them in all their engagements until July 1864 when the Regiment mustered out. The 71st received the brunt of Pickett's Charge at Gettysburg.

Arizona Cardinals
How Valley athletes spent their Thanksgiving
Unlike some of the other professional sports franchises across the country, Thanksgiving provided Valley athletes with a complete day of rest.
And in the midst of their respective grueling seasons or even offseasons, it's always interesting to see how a 'day off' is spent.
Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald will try to help Arizona snap a six-game losing streak Sunday. But that didn't keep him from giving back Thursday.
@larryfitzgerald and Jerry, our dining room manager. Thanks for serving today Larry! twitter.com/SVdP/status/27�— St. Vincent de Paul (@SVdP) November 22, 2012
Suns rookie guard Kendall Marshall is adjusting to pro life in just his first month in the league. So with no practice on Thursday, he chose to catch up on some much-needed TV time.
Big Bang Theory season 1 and 2 for me today. oh yes #TheLife— Kendall Marshall (@KButter5) November 22, 2012
Once a kicker always a kicker for Jay Feely. Even away from the office, Feely couldn't help but feel for fellow kickers Jason Hanson and Shane Graham during the highs-and-lows of the Texans' 34-31 overtime victory.
Anyone who says kicking is easy; Shane Graham knows if he misses this kick his career may be over. That's pressure!— Jay Feely (@jayfeely) November 22, 2012
The Cardinals Calais Campbell may return Sunday after missing last week's game against the Falcons. But on Thursday, all the defensive end could think about were the fans.
Happy thanksgiving to everyone! I am thankful to be a Cardinal and have the best fans in the business cheering me on every week— Calais Campbell (@Campbell93) November 22, 2012
Diamondbacks outfielder Justin Upton didn't have time to keep up with any potential trade rumors. He had enough on his hands playing with his nephew.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone - thankful for family time and my nephew Riley #futurefirstrounder twitter.com/JUS10UP10/stat�—Justin Upton (@JUS10UP10) November 23, 2012
Cardinals rookie wide receiver Michael Floyd has come a long way from his childhood days in Saint Paul, Minnesota. But when families get together, photo albums usually come out. Here's a throwback of Floyd.
#tbt family looking at old pics back at the crib. twitter.com/MichaelMFloyd/�— MichaelFloyd (@MichaelMFloyd) November 23, 2012
And then there's Suns guard Goran Dragic. The Slovenian didn't have a traditional Thanksgiving Day feast. Instead of turkey, pumpkin pie and stuffing, Dragic opted for a more unconventional choice.

It has the potential to be fast, but a 7:40 on the ring is still a ways off of the 7:33 the GT3 just ran. And wait until the GT3 gets PDK, it will be 7:20s.
you are definitely a porsche fan, also considering you claim to drive one as well. if ur saying the f430 scuderia ran a 7:39, please explain the 7:29 by the nissan gtr. the gtr weighs more than 1000lbs MORE than the scuderia!!! (or more than 35% heavier!) and has less power. the GT3 RS is a fantastic car no doubt, and im a big fan of porsche, particularly the new GT3 RS and 997.5 Turbo... but i think you're judging this GTS more than you rightfully can. you haven't even driven it, no one from the outside world has so there are no independent reports on how this GTS performs. please wait til the results are out. BMW is known to underrate their engines so im not surprised if it's actually got more than 450hp. also, if ppl judged the gtr by the numbers then they wouldn't be able to explain why the gtr is faster around the 'ring than a f430 scuderia, especially considering the huge weight difference and slight power difference.

Boys name - max? Daniel? Ideas

Posted 26 December 2012 - 12:40 PM
Our Dd is Imogen and I'm looking for ideas on a boys name- so far my list is Max or Daniel... I don't like anything that ends in an 'a' sound e.g. Noah as it doesn't go with the surname and nothing starting with a T. Likely middle name is Anthony or Michael.I'd love any suggestions!TIA
Posted 26 December 2012 - 03:00 PM
I think Daniel Anthony would be a lovely choice.
Raphael Anthony
Joshua Michael
Alexander Michael
Lucas Anthony
Matthew Anthony
Gabriel Anthony
Frederick Michael
Dominic Michael
Benedict Michael (NN Benno)
Posted 26 December 2012 - 03:08 PM
i like Max Michael Lastname. imogen and max. max and imogen... sorry op not much help, am i! i found boys names really hard. i dont mind alex but would alexander be too much of an 'ah' sound on the end? ( lets face it, in aus, most people would probably say it like alexand'uh', as opposed to alexand-er, wouldn't they?)
Posted 26 December 2012 - 03:08 PM
We have a max, DD was almost Imogen
I wouldn't pick your first name based on the middle name.

Imogen and:
Posted 27 December 2012 - 03:33 AM
I have a Daniel Arthur and I contemplated Imogen for our youngest DD
I really like Daniel as a name. We have come across very few around DS' age (9yo) and being such a classic name, it is never mispronounced, has a couple of nice nicknames and it goes with so many lovely middle names.
Daniel Anthony is lovely.
However, nearly ever Daniel I have met has been full of mischief and a "runner" as a toddler. I actually really enjoy my DS' mischevious side. He is a real sweetheart with a sense of adventure - a very loving and gentle boy.
Edited by ~ky~, 27 December 2012 - 03:33 AM.
Posted 27 December 2012 - 11:55 AM
I love both Daniel and max. classic names that can't be spelt wrong
Posted 27 December 2012 - 01:28 PM
Biased because I have a Daniel. I think it is a great name, classic but not overdone and suits all ages from baby to senior. My Daniel has always been Daniel, not Dan or Danny.
Posted 27 December 2012 - 01:38 PM
Big tick to Daniel! But I am biased on that one. I love the name and the nn Dan.
Posted 27 December 2012 - 08:10 PM
Thanks everyone for all the suggestions, i'm definately leaning towards Daniel - now to get DH to agree
Posted 27 December 2012 - 09:21 PM
both names go well - but I like Daniel best

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Terrible school starting with the principal Culture of intimidation. Teachers scared of the administration. Students scared of the staff.
I was thoroughly impressed with my daughter's experience as a Pre-k student at Goldrick during the year of 2011-12. Her teacher, Mrs. Kourtney and para teacher, Mrs. Arola were phenomenal in their teaching and connecting with the students. I felt as though they both really cared for my daughter's education and for her as a person. We are no longer living in this neighborhood and will miss seeing these teachers and truly appreciate all they provided for her this past year. I know Denver Public School teachers have a lot to deal with and get a lot of negative feedback when it comes to educating all the various types of learners. However, I applaud them all and wish this district the best of luck in its endeavors to become better!

Mild Or Wild, There's Nothing In Between At Talladega
|Like ALT
Are you like me? Sometimes watching a race at Talladega Superspeedway has been as frustrating as can be. For this fan, racing at Talladega has been a lot like fighting a war: hours of sheer boredom, following by seconds of sheer terror. Races where drivers wouldn't pass each other, two car tangoes, and pile-ups that fouled the fortunes of my favorite contenders are too vivid in my head. Like you- I keep watching, because you just never know what a day in Alabama may bring. Talladega has s ...//more

"Any publicity is good publicity" the adage goes. It's not every day NASCAR finds itself talked about on Good Morning America. One question though: NASCAR is a RACING series right? If it is, then what happened Saturday night at the Bank of America 500 may not be the kind of attention the series needs. Do you remember what one of the criticisms of NASCAR is by the non-fan? That it is low brow entertainment preferred by those that somehow find enjoyment in watching cars go around in circle ...//more
Nascar Odds: Bank of America 500

[caption id="attachment_685098" align="aligncenter" width="520"] Courtesy: Charlotte Motor Speedway[/caption] For a sport always trying to do something new, Nascar outdid itself. The Nascar odds for Saturday night's Bank of America 500 are backwards, with points and predictions having the least alignment I've ever seen in five years of writing for this site. It's amazing what Kansas can do. (more...) ...//more
Who Will Become The Elite Eight Of The Chase?
|Like ALT
The Contender round of the 2014 Chase is ready to roll. 12 drivers, some of the best racers in the business, vie for eight spots to become NASCAR's Elite Eight. There's some fast company in this group, and when you throw a wild card track like Talladega into the mix, any number of scenarios can play out, including the elimination of a favorite or two. While handicapping auto racing is a fool's errand, it's always interesting to ponder who the top Chase contenders are, and seeing how reali ...//more

Hitachi Adds to DLP Projector Lineup with 9000 Series
Hitachi America, Ltd., Digital Media Division, Business Solutions Group is introducing the new 9000 Series DLP projectors. These models are the smallest projectors that achieve up to 10,000 lumens brightness and remarkable image quality and ease of installation, making them ideal for large venues and staging applications.
All models feature Hitachiâs new, exclusive Accentualizer image processing with controls that enhance sharpness, improve contrast and make fine details clearer. Users can also adjust the effects by three levels according to the surroundings so that the colors of the projected images are the actual colors of the objects they represent.
The new 9000 Series projectors also feature two built-in color wheels, enabling users to easily switch between Rich Color Mode, which is ideal for use in environments where vibrant, rich images are required, and Bright Mode, which is ideal for presentations and other situations that require the sharing of information. In addition, the projectors offer built-in edge blending capability that achieves the seamless projection of one image using multiple projectors.
All projectors include motorized lens shift that enables lens shift, zoom and focus to be perfectly dialed in and increases installation flexibility. Moreover, six interchangeable lenses are available to match various screen sizes and installation environments. Projection is possible in diverse installation areas from small conference rooms to auditoriums, convention halls and other large spaces. For added ease of installation, the 9000 Series projectors can be installed facing any direction in 360 degrees, allowing the projectors to be utilized in a variety of ways at a variety of angles.
The 9000 Series feature HDCR (High Dynamic Contrast Range), a function that lets users correct blurred images that are caused by room lighting or outside light sources, resulting in clear images even in bright rooms. In addition, the projectorsâ Motion Adaptive Deinterlacer provides focused images, even for fast-moving video.
Lastly, the 9000 Series is equipped with a dual lamp system. Dual Mode achieves a high brightness up to 10,000 lumens in a compact body weighing only 41 pounds. In Single Mode, if one lamp stops functioning during use, the second lamp activates and projects the image with no interruption in the projection. Twenty-four hours of continuous operation is possible with the Alternative mode, which alternates the use of the two lamps.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I had an amazing time at this school when I was little. The teacher where all friendly and supportive, My class where rarely bullies and it offers so much for an elementary school.
We love this school. Everyone is very supportive and friendly! Leaving this school and heading to Middle school will be a big adjustment!
I don't think we could have been any luckier to have such a great school like RBES in our community. We moved to Riviera Beach for the nearby private school, but ended up giving the public school a try first. What a GREAT (i.e., lucky) decision we made! Our daughter has since moved on to middle school and her new teachers said its obvious which kids attended RBES (and Sunset Elem) as they are polite, prepared for class, and frequently score at the top of their middle school classes. Our son is doing wonderfully at RBES now and accommodations are made for students with advanced math and reading skills. The "worst" part about RBES is that the kids are treated like family. They feel safe, cared for, and are encouraged to reach their full potential. Why is that bad? Because moving on to George Fox will be a really difficult transition. At RBES, the teachers and administrators know everyone and are friendly. In middle school, they'll become just a nameless cog in the educational assembly line.
Riviera Beach has excellent parent involvement and the teachers are GREAT! My daughter had Mrs. Peters for kindergarten and all I can say is, she is amazing! Class sizes were small and Mrs. Peters has wonderful control of the class and relationships with each student. The principal at Riviera Beach is also wonderful and this school will do anything they can to help your child!
I am proud to say my daughter is a student at Riviera Beach Elementary School. The principal and teachers make it a warm, caring and nurturing environment for all the children. Over the past few years, we have watched our child go from shy to outgoing and making the honor roll. We are so proud of her and feel so blessed that she is able to attend this school.
I just substitute taught at RBES today for the first time and I must say that I came away very impressed! Seems like a great school for the faculty, parents, and most importantly the children.
I have been a parent and PTA Board member for Riviera Beach Elementary School since 2004. This school is wonderful. It is a small community school with great teachers, a wonderful principal and a great staff. Don't know why it is rated 6 out of 10. I am a very involved parent and if your child is doing what they are supposed to, you can not ask for anything else. This school is wonderful!
I am proud to be a parent of a student at RBES! The teachers seem to truely care about the kids, and their achievements, and are willing to work with the parents however needed. I am confident that with the support from his teachers, and at home, my son will not only succeed, but exceed at RBES!
My daughter is in kindergarden, and they are already doing many things. The teachers are wonderful, and the class's are not crowd'd like most schools in my area. I would highly recommend this school.
I have found this school and its staff to be highly qualified, helpful, sincere, and proactive in my son s education. The teachers, counselors and administration have demonstrated a genuine concern for the students welfare and the environment in which they learn. They go well above and beyond their job specifications in order to provide the parents and children with the best possible resources. I continue to find new, positive, and encouraging aspects that makes this school the precious gem that it is. I chose to send my sons to this school, and I am thankful everyday for their being a part of RBES!

Dodgers OF Puig sidelined by right knee strain
DENVER Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig is out of the starting lineup a day after he aggravated a right knee strain.
Puig was slated to take batting practice before Tuesday nights game at Colorado, but manager Don Mattingly said the Cuban slugger probably will not play against the Rockies.
Im not going to run him out there till hes ready, `til hes feeling hes going to be able to play full speed because hes not really a guy that plays half speed very well, Mattingly said. Once he gets out there and feels like he can turn it loose, then well turn him loose.
Puig is batting .351 with 14 homers and 32 RBIs in 80 games in his first season in the majors. He remains day to day.
Also Tuesday, outfielder Matt Kemp, who has been on the disabled list since July 22 with a left ankle sprain, traveled to the Dodgers complex in Arizona to get in some concentrated hitting work in a series of simulated games over the next several days.
Mattingly said the Dodgers are pleased with where Kemp is physically. He just needs to work on his timing at the plate.
The ankle seems to be holding up fine, everything seems to be holding up fine, Mattingly said. He hasnt had any problem with his shoulder or anything else, so health-wise we feel good. Its just trying to help him get his timing.
Kemp has spent time on the disabled list on two other occasions this season because of a left shoulder injury and right hamstring strain.MORE IN Sports WireDETROIT Scott Chandler capped an emotionally draining week with a celebration for the folks...

In 1841, thousands of children visited a Philadelphia shop to see a life-size Santa Claus model. It was only a matter of time before stores began to attract children, and their parents, with the lure of a peek at a "live" Santa Claus. In the early 1890s, the Salvation Army needed money to pay for the free Christmas meals they provided to needy families. They began dressing up unemployed men in Santa Claus suits and sending them into the streets of New York to solicit donations. Those familiar Salvation Army Santas have been ringing bells on the street corners of American cities ever since.

Laptop slide show at a restaurant -- rude?
- Glencora Apr 7, 2010 10:50 AM
My SO wants to take his laptop to a restaurant where we are meeting his mother for lunch, so that he can show her some vacation pictures while we wait for our food. This will be at a fairly nice, quiet, uncrowded place, not a cafe with wireless internet. He thinks that the fact that it will be uncrowded and at lunchtime, makes it okay. And of course he'd close it and put it away when the food arrives. Still, it seems rude to me. I understand that he wants to have a topic of conversation while we wait, and we've certainly passed around photographs before -- but a laptop? Am I being silly?
re: carolinadawg
I guess I'm (overly) sensitive about using electronics in public. Thanks for the quick reply.
re: Glencora
As long as your SO doesn't have these photos set to a soundtrack featuring Ted Nugent in a live performance of "Cat Scratch Fever" playing at full volume (because your SO insists that Ted and "CSF" must ALWAYS be played at full volume) then I think you're fine... ;-D>
I can understand why the OP feels self-conscious. Some of us are reminded of work when we see the little screens at other tables. That being said, if the overall atmosphere of the restaurant compensates for the discomfort of the screen being displayed discreetly, I'd probably not mind at all.
This may be obnoxious since others have already said that you can do this if you want but-I'm kind of sensitive to lights in a dark room. I don't usually confront anyone, but I'm usually doing an internal sadface about someone texting in front of me at the movies. But I wouldn't be bothered at all in a restaurant if you tilted the computer slightly away from the floor (toward the wall). Most laptops don't cast a wide swathe of light, and I wouldn't be bothered by your family showing pictures. I would say enjoy your family gathering.
re: ErnieD
I would find it fairly obnoxious. Will you not be able to go elsewhere like either of your homes to view pictures?
re: ErnieD
Well, it's lunchtime so I doubt the dining room will be overly dark.
To foodsnob, I see no difference in this and passing printed photos around. What IS the difference? And, no, one can't always go to someone's home.
re: ErnieD
I am sorry, but what place do you dine in that is so dark that a laptop casts a bright light, especially during lunch hour?
I would find nothing wrong with showing some pics on a laptop, if it makes you feel better, pretend he is CEO and showing Powerpoints.
yeah I think your're being silly about this. I can't see how it would be rude or to whom it would be rude to, but if he wants to walk around the room showing everyone your morning "Wakee!: face then I see an issue. :-)
I think it might be an infringing distraction for diners seated close by. It certainly has the potential of being perceived as one. It doesn't matter what Chowhounders think. It matters to you what the diners at the resto think. Sounds like you'll be self conscious about coming across as rude. So to avoid, request a corner table in advance or have the resto seat you away fr other diners or or get a private room at the resto.
Also, there's a possibility the resto may object. Ask in advance.
re: ilikefood
I am not sure how this is any different from a person coming in alone reading a book, paper,or looking at your iPhone. People do business lunches all the time and that has the potential to be a bit more distracting than a few people quietly looking at a laptop. It's one thing if you're going to a busy place in the evening, but this is a daytime lunch in a restaurant that isn't very busy.
re: queencru
queencru, If you can't see the difference, in terms of distraction, between a 15" "TV" on the table next to you and a book, I'm not going to debate the point. But that wasn't my point. My point was: there IS a possibility it might seem an improper distraction to a nearby diner, and the resto might not approve (small chance perhaps but why not easily avoid). Plus the OP, Glencora,seems self conscious about that. What's wrong with taking 1 or more of the easy steps I recommended to avoid any chance of taking away from what should be a totally enjoyable lunch?
On the scale of irritating behavior I'd say this ranks pretty low. I guess if someone who was light sensitive was sitting right behind the person at your table with the computer, it might bother them slightly, but as long as you do it with sensitivity to anyone looking up all annoyed, I would think you should be okay.
What ever happened to people using conversation to pass the lull between ordering and eating? That would be the only reason why I would be somewhat adverse to the idea of whipping out a laptop for show and tell...I think it's a good idea to force ourselves to practice the art of conversation sometimes.
Also, if you feel strange about electronics out in public, your mother-in-law may also feel uncomfortable.
re: soypower
I think the "art of conversation" will be practiced in discussing the vacation that caused the photos to be taken.
re: c oliver
Perhaps I'm just old fashioned, but to me, a dining table is for dining and all that entails (i.e., conversing with your dining partners). I'm a little put off by people who feel they need some sort of prop or other entertainment device in order to get through a dinner. Granted, that's not exactly what's being discussed here, merely a device to share some pictures, but if generations before us could have meaningful conversations about their vacations with just words, what's changed so much?
Certainly technology enables us to share more things much faster, but is that necessary? At dinner? It appears that most think it's perfectly ok, and after reading this, I'll try to adopt a more accepting attitude to this...however, I don't think I would be comfortable doing it myself.
re: soypower
I agree with you, however I do think that this particular case, primarily because it is lunch in a casual restaurant, is a judgement/style call rather than a potential beach of etiquette.
It is a terrible shame that they cannot get together to talk about the vacation without enlisting the aid of a device.
This reminds me of a really sad trend I've noticed in families - children using hand held video games at the table in restaurants or older children/teens texting during the meal.
re: Kater
I don't think there is anything wrong with this. Going over to people's houses to view photos isn't always an option, and I don't think in the past people would have complained much about passing around a photo album. If you've visited someplace no one else in the group has seen or knows much about, it's much easier and more fulfilling to show things with pictures.
re: queencru
are they homeless or something?
I don't plunk a laptop down on the lunchtable. It's just not necessary. I've also never seen a person bring a photo album to a restaurant.
re: DGresh
OMG!!! this is SO funny! I am thinking of caveHuman drawings on cave walls, thousands of years old picturing a successful hunt! Humans have been using "devices" a LONG time to augment words!!! And I don't think there is a human alive who doesn't in some way augment their words with a gesture, hand motion or body language.
Try it. Tell a story, do not change your voice in any way, use any facial or body motion. Bet you can't really do it.
re: soypower
When I've tried to talk about our African safari with photos, it's a bit lame. Somehow saying "we saw this pride of lions lying around on the side of the road" just doesn't have the wow factor that a photo does.
Also it was a casual lunch not dinner at Per Se.
re: c oliver
I imagine pantomiming the animals you saw to your companions at lunch might be even more distracting to the surrounding diners than a computer slide show without sound... ;-D>
re: Servorg
They can be rather loud and a few thousand wildebeests going through a dining room would be quite distracting. And other guests should be glad that photos don't have an olfactory feature cause hippos smell REALLY bad :)
re: c oliver
Talk about safaris and photos always reminds me of a grad school friend who got to go on a safari as a side effect of a geophysics project in Africa (tough life). She showed us a slide show of her photos when she got back which she entitled "butt shots of africa". Apparently animals don't always show their best side :)
re: soypower
people also used to live without electricity, airplanes, or penicillin.
need is a poor guide to life. we need water, air, some food - maybe if it gets really cold some walls or pants. that's about it.
re: soypower
Well, if all they do is talk about their vacation, it's not quite the same as showing some photos. A picture is worth..., so on and so on.
re: PeterL
Kinda hard to show off your vacation pics without the pics. ;-)
re: Beckyleach
Maybe her SO has one of those "privacy" screens for using your laptop (without prying eyes in the next seat seeing what's on your screen) on board an airliner, and they can fold that out and hook it on?
re: PeterL
No difference.
re: grampart
OMG That is so funny I will certain be using that line again!
OP reporting back. Some of the replies here are really funny! Is it so odd to want to show Grandma some pics of our son's trip to DC? I sort of miss the days of getting rolls of pictures developed, but that seems to be over and my SO has no intention of printing everything off the computer. So we're stuck with the laptop. Going to someone's home wasn't possible.
What happened was that we ended up going to a nicer and more crowded place for lunch and decided not to open the laptop. The tables were small and fairly close together. It might have been intrusive. Afterward, since the weather was lovely (finally!) we had dessert and coffee outside at a nearby cafe. We showed her the pictures there. It was fine.
I was being humorous (or trying to be) about needing a topic of conversation. I guess I'm the only person on the planet who sometimes feels tongue-tied with her MIL.

re: carolinadawg
i love looking at pics on my iphone. and its certainly easier to pass around than a laptop
re: smartie
Funny. I actually enjoy looking at vacation pictures. I'm curious about other people's lives. However, I know not everyone feels this way. I wouldn't "inflict" my son's vacation pics on anyone other than his grandma. Believe me, she was happy to be involved. Not a hostage.
(Edit: of course it can be a yawn if it goes on too long -- but we're talking five or ten minutes here.)

We drove through the main part of the city, and I have never seen such exclusive stores. Some of them I've never heard of before. The shopping is fantastic if you are a shopper.

... br> The return train journey was just as spectacular, however there was far more cloud cover at the Bernina Pass than earlier, so we were lucky. This trip also meant we could get some shots of Val Poschiavo with the sun behind us.
Thought we would unwind before dinner with a short stroll and ended up doing the Giro di Lago hike ( a circuit of the lake), returning some 2 hours later, "just" in time for dinner.
Hiking in Swiss National Park
We left the hotel around 10:00 this morning. We had a lovely buffet breakfast, packed up and headed to the Swiss National Park. But first we drove into the town of Davos. It has been said that Davos is more cool than quaint. That must be why we didn't find much of interest to us. It is more geared to the cr�me de la cr�me of capitalism who attend the annual World Economic Forum here.
