Fribourg, Switzerland


Wednesday, we spent a long day exploring Fribourg and Romont (a medieval city founded in the tenth century about 30 minutes from Fribourg) since this is the area of Switzerland that my luck lies within.
Thank you to all of you that kept me in your thoughts and wished me luck. It means more than [...]

Saturday in the sun


The horses were interested in us, but only from a safe distance. You can see smoke in the background where a farmer was burning wood that he had cleared from his land.

Here another farmer has the bonfire ready to go.

Cows taking a pause for a drink.

Cows in a field of daffodils.

Daffodils grow wild in [...]

Tour de Romandie


Yesterday, we found ourselves beside the road watching the Tour de Romandie.
Below are some of the photos we took and one video. The part where all the bikes went by at once was pretty exciting for the children even if it didn’t last long. You can hear my kids in the background of [...]

Daytrip to Neuchâtel, Switzerland


It was a warm day in the mountains, but not warm enough. So, we took the train to Neuchâtel where we knew it would be more to our liking.
It always surprises me how much warmer it is once we get out of the mountains.
In Neuchâtel, there were leaves on the trees! LEAVES! [...]

We are taking nightly walks as we did before the snow. The children run in the fields along the road and search for hidden treasures in nature while Vilay and I talk about how much we love it here.
Here are some of my favorite photos I took:

The Jura in spring


We walked six miles over our beautiful mountains. The sky was immense. It was covered in a deep blue decorated with huge white fluffy clouds. It felt good to stretch our muscles on a weekend walk. We haven’t been able to walk so far since before the snow started last year.
We [...]

Biel-Bienne


We went to Bienne last Saturday. We found Spring waiting for us all pretty in pink!

Swans were gliding through the water at the lake fighting for their lunch. The swan in the photo below was even carrying some bread crumbs on his back for later.

Interlaken


Saturday, we found ourselves in Interlaken. It was a sunny Spring like day filled with the beauty of the Alps.
Below, is a photo of a wooden bear holding an edelweiss flower.

Do you see the cow sticking out of the corner of the building?

Interlaken was busy with people out and about. The traditional Alpine [...]

Video of Lake Neuchâtel (Lac de Neuchâtel)


We went to Neuchâtel, yesterday, to print off the papers I need to request my Ohio driving record. It was a beautiful day with Spring like weather.
Vilay made this short video to remember it by.  Enjoy!
