I have had a busy last few days. Jess took me to meet her host family from when she studied in the french-speaking part of Switzerland. We even took a ferry to France for an hour! Of course, I over packed, stuffing everything in a huge red backpack with the Swiss flag on it. Hm...could I be a tourist? Besides having to lug around the beast of a backpack, I thoroughly enjoyed myself, and loved meeting the family of nine. Seven kids. Seven! They lived in this great, rambling farmhouse in a tiny village. The next day Jessica, her host brother Arnaoud (a name I could not pronounce- to the amusement of others), and I visited another town, Bielle. It was quite a day of bad luck, and I think we missed almost every train/bus/boat we planned on taking. In Bielle, Arnaoud took us to the restaurant where he worked as a chef and treated us to an appetizer. Who knew that roast beef could be that delicious? I am posting some pictures of the trip as well.
Tomorrow is my last day before heading to Scotland. Exciting!!
Could that backpack be any bigger or brighter? It will be sweet to use when you get back here =) Glad you are having a blast!
ReplyDeleteThese pictures are hilarious. I can't decide if my favorite is the one with the socks or the backpack.
ReplyDeleteloove the socks! presh :) and that backpack story just made me really happy and very sad at the same time. very happy, because it is so you and so great. very sad, because i miss being able to experience your over-preparedness first hand!
ReplyDeleteok, I need to clarify one thing: I did not BUY the back pack. give me some credit. I borrowed it and it was either that one or a very small black one.
ReplyDeleteand laura, I know the feeling. miss you!!
