We took a day trip out of Zug today to visit the monastery and beautiful chapel in Eisiedeln. Jason and I attended part of a Mass there, while Lauren and Chris shopped and Honey and H played with Claire. There is a Black Madonna in the church that has been associated with miracles for over 1000 years, and it was so amazing to be so close to her. Obviously, we weren't allowed to take pictures there, but this is one I copied from their website:
(In case any of you are wondering why she's black, it's from all the hundreds of years of candle soot she has been exposed to.)
Once we got back to Zug, we walked down to the lake to enjoy the nice (but hot!) weather. Claire enjoyed a cup of mango sorbet and had tons of fun feeding the ducks with Aunt Lou.
