This weekend we did a bit of inter-city traveling; we went to Vevey (where Swiss chocolate originated) and shopped at the open market on the water. Sophie had the privilege of taking her very first train ride ever! She did well--although she barked/demon growled at certain people (she hates people who wear fur hats or fur in general--which is a lot of the Swiss population). Below are some pictures from our weekend; things you will see include gigantic forks in the middle of Lake Geneva, stinky yet amazing cheese stands with more cheese than you can imagine (and tough to pronounce), Nathan enjoying an "express" and the International Herald in Old Town Geneva (we went to a Swiss military closeout expo...got some cool stuff!), Nathan and I enjoying the playground on top of the hill in Old Town, then our delicious dinner of white fish in a white wine sauce and the local wine called Fechy (I can include the recipe if anyone is interested!). Enjoy!
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -- Mark Twain
Meet the girls
Hello! My name is Tanya and I am a former high school English Language Arts teacher from Columbus, Ohio. My hubs recently got a job in Switzerland and this blog chronicles my (our) journey as we make a life overseas. Since Nathan will be working during the day, there are plenty of opportunities for me and my dog Sophie to explore and find ourselves some (mis)adventures. Come along for the ride!
Nathan's cooking? ...man...that looks good! Especially since we are about to head out to Las Margaritas with Bill and Dotty!
