Flammkuchen & Thunderstorm

Today was super duper warm again, and I basically did homework & helped my grandma around the house all day. But in the evening I went to Dominic & Lara's for dinner, which was a Swiss pizza type stuff - called Flammkuchen, which literally means flame cake (thin crust with bacon, onions, and a creme sauce). It was really good:). I ended up staying until pretty late because there was a giant thunderstorm. The rain stopped around 10:30 so I walked home in the storm but avoided getting wet.. It was super creepy and super cool because the lightning and then thunder + it being dark out made for a perfect horror movie setting!

Spain Day 2!

Today we got up early and walked down a hill behind our hotel to wander through the actual city of Granada. 

We visited the Cathedral where Queen Isabella of Spain's body is, 

and a cool statue showing Christopher Columbus asking Queen Isabella for permission to go to India, which was neat.:) (oops, you can't even see the statue in the picture? My bad.)

Then we did some shopping, because everything in cheaper here than in Switzerland. Everything is cheaper anywhere else than in Switzerland (kind of). 

We came back to the hotel & went swimming & laid in the sun until dinner (it's so nice & warm here!), where we walked to a place close by where there was amazing cheesy pizza & paellas (rice with tomatoes and lots of other veggies-apparently a Spanish specialty). 

Tomorrow we have to get up early to get on the bus for two hours.. *horrified gasp*

Sleepover!

Yesterday I got up late and then met Lara and her friend Cecilia to go hang out in Zurivh. We went to an old-fashioned photo booth, got Starbucks, 

and just kind of generally wandered around talking. Then we went to Cecilia's house and made pizza and baked cookies and watched movies. :)

We were awake until 5 am, and then slept until noonish. Good morninggggg

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.
