return to Switzerland

I got back to Switzerland last Sunday evening and started back to class Monday morning. I think I'm just about over the jet lag. Below I'm posting some pictures from yesterday. Rachel and I spent the afternoon and evening with our apartment manager (Paulette) and her husband (Steffan). They took us to a few neat places nearby for the views and some ice cream. I'll post some pictures soon from my time at home.

we drove up to the mountains and went to that restaurant - on the top - can you see it?

the view from the top - the valley of Traverse - doesn't it make you want to live here? the restaurant is called Napoleon's Hat - 3,153 feet

me, Paulette (our apartment manager), and Rachel Rachel was taking my picture and I just couldn't keep my eyes open in the sun anymore - but I kind of like this one anyway

ice cream

then we went to a restaurant on the shore of Lake Neuchatel - I got coffee.

We came back to the apartment building and had dinner at Paulette and Steffan's. They served us Raclette - a traditional Swiss meal that consists of melting your own little tray of cheese and scraping it on top of potatoes and different vegetables. So good (except for the pickles and onions and other things that taste like vinegar)!
