Fribourg

The other day my friend, Leona, and I ventured out with the babies to Fribourg for the day. Both of our hubbies were traveling for work that week so it was a perfect opportunity to get out and explore Switzerland together. It was about an hour drive there so just the right amount of time for the two babies to squeeze in a nice nap.

We spent the day walking around the city as well as viewing it aboard the P’tit Train. The ride provided headphones to listen to the history of the city, but we missed all that because we were too busy trying to keep two wiggly 13 month olds contained on the train. Not an easy feat but we managed to keep them both safely aboard. The babies also cooperated as we did some shopping and toured St. Nicolas Cathedral, dating from the 1200s.

Our only snafu for the day was getting Isobel’s carseat stuck in my car. Between the two of us we could not get the thing out. Luckily, Leona didn’t need it for a few days. Matt popped it out with no problem when he returned from his trip to the US. He made it look real easy, too, which I didn’t appreciate.

Four

That’s the answer to the question, “How many letters has it taken to terminate our housing lease?” I’m not sure what was wrong with the first, second or third letters. I’m hoping the fourth one does the trick.

Also on our to-do list for the move was to de-register with the city of Morges. Today we received our ‘Attestation de depart’ which is a document stating we need to leave Morges by the date we provided them.
