🦆Dr. Winter and his group of traveling project week students enjoyed fondue lunches with his duck, Duke Henry, in Luzern.

🚤 What a unique experience to share such a delightful meal in the heart of Switzerland! After savoring the rich flavors of melted cheese, they set sail on the serene waters of Lake Lucerne, soaking in the stunning alpine views that surrounded them.

The day continued with an exhilarating ascent to Mt. Pilatus, where they floated in his mountaintop pond. This incredible journey blends adventure, gastronomy, and nature in one unforgettable trip!
