"The Blindfolded Man III" by R L Swihart

My little poem, at least in part inspired by my recent visit to Chateau de Chillon (near Montreux, Switzerland), is up at Antioch University's Lunch Ticket : http://lunchticket.org/the-blindfolded-man-iii/

Dribble Dribble: My Chillon

I wasn't sure I needed to see this again (other than a drive by) but the wife insisted. Turns out I met with something new: they had a large part of the tour connected to a temporary exhibit on witch-hunting in the Pays de Vaud. Made it even more interesting. Forest of Name and Dates (people who were killed because they were supposedly witches) Byron's Scrawl Ghostly Couple Toilet Seat (all the way to the lake) Feel Like a "Stretch"? View Back to Montreux Chillon with a Train (from the parking lot)

Château de Chillon, Montreux, Switzerland.

Château de Chillon, Montreux, Switzerland. , a photo by ayush.bhandari on Flickr. We visited here the last time we were in Montreux. Saw the dungeon, Byron's graffiti. Perhaps we'll go in again, but I guess it's much busier "in season" (last time it was winter and we practically had the guide to ourselves).
