I have lived in the mountains of Kentucky. Granted the mountains weren’t as big as where we are in the Jura. But, we got snow. Lots of snow. Yet, I had never witnessed snow markers or snow fences (pictured above) being put up during winter.
The first time I saw a [...]

Knotted heart
At least once a day I find a hidden heart in an unexpected place. I found this knotted heart shape during our Sunday walk, yesterday.
Each time I find a heart I think of my oldest daughter who is living with her father in the States and I send her a little extra love.

Pain du Jura
A photo of the the bread left over from breakfast.
The pain du Jura (bread from the canton of the Jura, Switzerland) is known for it’s slightly curved form. The outside of the bread is fine and crusty.

Photohunt: Free
I like to read 20 minutes while waiting for the train. It makes time pass by faster. I was lucky that there were a few left from Friday since it is not published on the weekends.

What is Tiki?
And, what exactly do you do with it?
I bought a package of Tiki because it said on the package it was a Swiss tradition. I thought it would be fun to try out another Swiss product.
I opened the package and found these little guys.
This is what was inside.
As an American, it reminded me of [...]
Pirate rain boots
…for navigating the waters of life.
The back of the rain boots have reflectors for safe navigation!
We found these rain boots at Dosenbach (a shoe store) where I found my comfy Swiss slippers about a month ago. We have bought many of our families shoes and boots there since moving to Switzerland.

Video of boat coming into dock
Vilay made a movie of a boat coming into the port of Ouchy which touches Lausanne, Switzerland. Close to the end you can hear Petite Clown talking.She said, “Papa, on est presque fini.” In English, “Papa, we are almost done.” She was talking to Vilay about the lollipops that he had bought [...]

Three of my favorite photos from Lausanne this past Saturday.
The couple in the photo were quietly sitting while they ate and drank wine together with an incredible view spread out in front of them. It was so romantic. Just like out of a movie.
We saw many people sitting together or alone watching the [...]
