Tonight marks the last night of our stay in Switzerland. time really flies. I've been here for about 3 months! About half of the time i go to french class. the other half we traveled and just did what we do the best - lazy bums. :) this past weekend i had a little day trip by myself and the whole time I was speaking French (to get direction and inquire information) and i didn't get lost! Does that mean people actually understood me? :) It feels a little rewarding. I also want to thank Simone and the rest of Vienne family for welcoming me with open arms and hospitality, because of them I had a really comfortable stay in this beautiful swiss countryside. And now I am leaving with loads of memory and good times, and better yet, those recipes passed down from her family in Alsace. Here when we cook, we go to the garden to collect basils, thymes, rosemary and other herbs I've never heard of. How natural and how tasteful it is, from the garden directly to your plate! I know now i will want a garden in my next home!
We said that this is like a vacation from our vacation. I am excited to be on the road again but i expect a little "learning curve" to get back on track, things like looking out for pickpockets, haggling, and keeping a hand on the pocket that's long forgotten in our daily routine. :)

I cannot wait to read about your trips again! Remember - when in doubt, eat! (You should try the camel hump if you get a chance.)
