Sunday in Geneva, Switzerland

February 9, 2010

We took the train to Geneva to get out of our village for the day. It is always strange to leave our snow covered mountains to visit a city in the valley that is completely without snow only to return later in the day to all our snow. It felt good to stretch our legs in [...]

Snow walk

January 31, 2010

The snow is starting to get deep here. Each time it snows a new layer is added. The kids joke that they can swim in it. What is funny is that when I walk on the snow it feels like walking on a sandy beach with shoes on. It takes an effort to walk through [...]

January 19, 2010

The last bit of our snowy walk I shared with you in my previous post. Sadly, the trees are no longer covered in snow. Shimmering frost does cover the trees every morning which kinda makes up for it.

My first time to visit the Neuchâtel Arts and Crafts Christmas market

December 13, 2009

The Arts and Crafts Christmas market in Neuchâtel is full of beautifully crafted items. Each stall is a reflection of the artist that is selling their goods and no stall is alike. It is held inside a kind of enclosed tent which is nice and warm. Once we left the market, my husband and I [...]

Public warning: Old witch ladies giving out evil eyes in Neuchâtel, Switzerland

October 31, 2009

We went shopping in Neuchâtel today. We had to buy my son a winter coat because the zipper broke on his old one. Two girls got their birthday wishes. One wished for a Princess Barbie and the other a stroller for her babies. I will let you guess who wished for what. All three got [...]
