Spring!

Spring has sprung in Switzerland. Everywhere you look it’s green. Our town is known for their tulip festival. There are over 100,000 tulips, hyacinths and daffodils in just one park. Well, I think that’s what the sign said. It was all in French, so I can’t be completely sure. Here are just a few pictures of the park. Even Matt said the flowers were pretty. (From Matt: I believe Sandra said “They’re pretty, aren’t they?”, and I said “Yes.” I didn’t know what she was talking about but figured if I agreed with her I wouldn’t get a long follow-up conversation. All the guys out there understand.)





Busy, busy!

Sorry about the lack of blogging. We’ve been keeping busy. Matt and I traveled to Italy for a week in March. Loved it! It was our honeymoon. Only a year late. We stayed in an apartment on the coast and drove all over the Tuscany region. Then our visitors started to come. My friend, Darcy was our first visitor. She came for a week. Not only did we tour around Switzerland, but we also went to Paris for two days. It’s a beautiful city. I hope to go back and spend more time there since it’s only a four hour train ride. Next, my parents and sister, Andrea, came for a week. We had a great week with beaucoup sightseeing. We were active, too, as we did some hiking in the mountains and rented bikes from the train station. In between our visitors, I traveled to Budapest for a long weekend with some girlfriends. The highlight was the outdoor bath. Very relaxing and some good people watching (lots of men in speedos that maybe shouldn’t have been)!
