09.30.07Berne (Bern), SwitzerlandWe had to change trains three times with three kids and two strollers to get to Berne, the capital city of Switzerland. It was worth it. The train from Bienne to Berne had a second floor. We happily pulled the kids and strollers up a flight of stairs just for the view. It was wonderful. The kids were beside themselves with excitement. There was a street market in Berne. The famous Zytglogge tower at the entrace to the medieval section of the city of Berne. In the old town there are 6 kilometers of arcades which makes it one of ...

09.27.07Rain Rain Go Away…I took this picture this morning on the way to take Sweet Bear to the bus. It was a rainy morning but I think it was beautiful outside. The leaves have started to fall from some of the trees. As you can see"my bench" is surrounded by leaves of orange and brown. Even if I didn't mind the light rain we sang Rain Rain Go Away all the way to the bus stop. It is one of the kids favorite songs in English.

09.17.07La belle SuisseSweet Bear took this photo. She is becoming quite the photographer. Petite Clown hasn't yet figured out how to take a photo without getting her fingers in the shot. Once she does I know she'll be as good as her sister. They are always pointing out things to me during our walks. Some of the trees are beginning to change. It is not at all as dramatic as in Ohio. However, it is still beautiful. Click on continue to see the rest of the photos! Continue Reading...

09.16.07Saturday outingWe took the train to La Chaux-de-fond to buy Sweet Bear and Petite Clown some shoes. Afterwards, we took advantage of our all day tickets. When taking the train it is generally cheaper to buy the all day tickets rather than the round trip tickets. The all day tickets allow us to go anywhere in the Jura canton by train or bus for the entire day. So, we went to Saignelégier for the Marché Bio (Organic Market). Every year on a September weekend the organic producers of the Franches Montagnes present their goods in La Halle du ...

09.12.07Tutoring EnglishI have officially sat with my neighbor's daughter twice to teach her English. She is very determined and has already learned how to pronounce the alphabet correctly in English. She has a French accent which is normal. But, she works hard to pronounce the words like I do. She is starting to sound American! For today's lesson we started with numbers. It isn't easy because my children are in the apartment with me. Vilay is at work during the lessons. We do the lessons on Wednesdays because school is only for half the day. The kids aren't accustomed to sharing Mama. No matter. My pupil ...

09.03.07Walking the JuraI have created a new flickr set, Walking the Jura (click on link to visit it). The images above can be found there. I will add more pictures to this set as we walk the Jura more. Typically, on Sunday we head out to some village from our village. The best way to see and enjoy a region or city is to walk through it. We walked to Les Muriaux, Switzerland this past Sunday. It was the perfect day for walking. It was warm but the breeze was cool. For about three hours we walked through farms, ...

08.27.07SteamingAs I sit here typing my body is still steaming from spending the day chasing kids and laundry. One day of laundry a week is great on all the days I do not have to do it. Today, I was not feeling it. Luckily, it was hot and my one dozen loads dried quickly. I do have two still hanging in the washroom, but they will be done in the morning. On Wednesday I have a neighbor girl coming over for free English lessons. I figured it is a good way for me to get experience ...
