catching up....

Sorry that it has been so long since the last post you are all probably wondering what happened....just kidding!  We are still alive and well!! :)  Yesterday I was able to finally see Jay play basketball, and I was SOOOOO happy to see him do what he loves and nice to see him in his element.  The team did not win last night but I REALLY enjoyed seeing the game.  Afterwards we went out to have some dinner with Seb and Allison at a place in the middle of the village and had crepes for dessert...it was delicious and everyone should try one WITH ice cream, so good!  :)

Got up this morning and did the workout, ran back home to catch up with Richard from management with the team to help with the "laundry situation" and the ladies here.  He was able to solve what needed to happen and kind of gave them a talking to about how I did not understand and that we did not receive a letter about the laundry changing.  Things will be fixed soon.  After this Jay came home from lunch and we cleaned up to head to Bern, the capital, for some afternoon sightseeing with Seb and Allison.  

In the car Allison has been very helpful to show me French words and phrases and help me to sound them out.  I know that this will spark some interest and she even invited me to come to see her in Belgium, where she lives.  I have included a picture of the two of us "Blondy Girls" as she says.

We had a very nice afternoon wandering around there for our first trip to Bern and we even saw where Einstein's home was in Bern where he came up with the theory of relativity!  The shopping area we saw here was 6 KM long and one of the longest covered shopping areas in all of Europe!  It was very neat with the cobblestone streets.  Jay has become quite the photographer and taken some great photos. 

 

Since my arrival I have also become a new fan of cappuccino and Seb and Allison really like Starbucks so we have stopped in Bern and Geneve for that.  Starbucks is almost DOUBLE the price here.  Hot Coco is about $8 for the medium.  Jay and I have really been enjoying spending some time together seeing the country and also having another couple with who have been a huge help with the language barrier, soon we will be professionals and can do some touring ourselves.  Next weekend we hope to take a small weekend trip somewhere...stay tuned.

Lots of love
