Pictures & sunburn!

Today we had a super early out at 10:30, so two friends and I went to the lake to take pictures! We ended up going home way earlier than we expected because it was too hot to concentrate. But we got some really pretty pictures!

(There are a bunch more that came out really well which makes me super happy!)

Sunny day

Today was an average school day, but I went to lunch with Lara. It has been so gorgeous lately... Warm and sunny, so we went down to the lake. 

All the stores are getting geared up for Easter, so there's even more chocolate than usual everywhere:)

Then for dinner I went over to Aunt Claudia and Uncle Ralph's:)

Saturday explorations in Genève/Geneva

Today we got up late, ate breakfast, and then went to a flea market a block away from where we are staying.

I got a ring for one of my friends, and some stuff to make a necklace for someone's Christmas present. There were also a bunch of old cameras that were super awesome, but Lara texted her dad and he said he already had one, so we can take some pictures with it sometime:)

We went shopping on the main street in Genève, and then took a water taxi thing to the other side of the lake, where we went to a cute little cafe. 

After that, we wandered back to the apartment. We found an old car decorated all cool on the way...

We then went home, ate delicious pizza, watched a movie called "The Bling Ring" (with Emma Watson!) and went to bed.

Also, to clear up any confusion, Genève is the same thing as Geneva, just spelled differently. Just so you know. 

Language class day 2

So yesterday we went to the market a few tram stops away and had to ask the vendors how much certain things cost... My group had the most accurate answers, so we got chocolate!!

It was delicious:)

Then we went back to the school and had a lesson, had a lunch break where I had Wehe (I think that's how it's spelled.. I don't know), which is a pie-like thing, it comes in all different flavors with fruits or berries on it, or just with Rahm, which is cream in German. That's what I had:) Also, it is socially acceptable to have it for lunch or dinner, which is a bit unusual for foods.

At the train station there were a bunch of people in orange sunhats giving away mini cans of Fanta (soda). It was really cool, because at home in such a small city we don't ever get people advertising in such ways.

We then went on the train to the Uetliberg (a mountain). There we walked up a very short incline and arrived at a tall viewing platform-type thing, which we promptly climbed up. 

There were 178 steps, I counted... There was a fabulous view from up there, and we all took pictures and oohed and aahed.

It was gorgeous.

We finished the day by wandering around old Zurich, then going to a public swimming place on the lake of Zurich. It was super fun!

But the very best part of my day was skyping with one of my best friends. I love and miss you, Kk!!!

Summer weather!! (Not really)

It's Friday!! It seems like this has been a really long week... Only 11 days left of school!

After our "fitness day" in P.E. today last period (basically a day where we run the entire period) my friend Kayli and I were super tired and exhausted, so naturally we decided to go jump into a lake. In Montana. In May. When it can either be snowing or be as beautiful as it has been the past few weeks. 

Let's just say it was cold. Very cold.

But it was also super fun. Afterwards we watched movies and ate pizza and talked about school and stuff:)It was awesome. I hope this pretty weather continues!

Bye!
