Switzerland is the New Sweden.
We're visiting a new friend in Lausanne, Swizterland - and the first thing we thought when we showed up was it looks exactly like British Columbia...except in europe! it really can't get any better than this. well i guess it could, if you took all the swedish men and put them in switzerland...then that would be best case scenario. but the mountains and the water is everything i could ever ask for.
Rach and i are staying with a friend of someone who works with my dad. She's a fabulous professional, everything that rach and i aspire to be. An unbelievable job, a good canadian girl, great family, a professional background, and just a cool girl all around (sigh - "give me back my liiiife")
We stayed for a couple days to just mill around the city - we took a huge walking tour (and luckily it's all up the mountains so we gave our buns a good solid workout). The western part of switzerland is french speaking, so it gives rach and i a little practice with our french.
Not too much action, but we did bond over a lot of wine in the evening. But great news, we decided to spend christmas in Lausanne at the apartment, with a christmas tree and christmas music! we're going to set up over the computer with a web cam so we can watch our family back home in detroit open the gifts we had sent home. it'll be our very first christmas away, but we know we'll be seeing them a few short days after in Prague for the World Junior Hockey Championships...Go Canada!
