Swiss cheese awards

Today I didn't get home until 6:30. Ew.

But I saw a wacky advertisement that made me smile and a cat that wouldn't let me pet it. 

Basically a good day. 

Rainy Sunday

Today we got up late and went to the United Nations office. (the one here is the second-largest in the world!)

We went to visit the Jet d'Eau de Genève (Geneva water fountain) and it was raining like crazy. The fountain is a huge tourist attraction normally, but since it was so rainy we were the only people there. Woop woop.

We found another weird car...

And apparently I was feeling particularly fabulous when we were inside some old building with columns.

The sky in the evening was super pretty, it was literally purple. #nofilter

For dinner we had a traditional Swiss food called raclette. It's basically raclette cheese heated up and then poured over potatoes, and you can add bread, pickles, meat, or basically anything you want to it. It's really yummy.

Language class day 6

Yesterday we went back to the school and had classes in the morning, then went to a cheese dairy in the afternoon. It was a super cute little dairy, and we got to look in through the glass doors and watch the cheese makers wrestle the giant wheels of cheese. 

The cheese that is made there is excusively Emmentaler cheese, which has to age for a while. This is one of many rooms that look exactly the same.

There was a gift shop, and I thought it was super cool that they had both my name and my mom's spelled correctly on these adorable mugs.

On the way to the Kaserei (cheese making place) we discovered a train car that had a little playground for children. We definitely classify as children, so we went on the slide. We both almost got stuck... This is my friend Laura from Spain...
