The Lausanne Cathedral

We climbed the Lausanne Cathedral with our friends today. Here are some views of the city. We live up the hill from the city, in a more residential area. Our place is directly behind me when I'm taking the picture of the kids. It takes us about 10-15 minutes by bus to get to the city centre (where the cathedral is).


Our first swim in Lac Leman was today. The place we swam wasn't too cold, as we've been warned others are. The water in the lake is melted snow from the Alps. We had a nutella snack pack for a break. They sell a plastic container with 3 compartments: Nutella, sweet breadsticks, and a drink. The kids were in LOVE. Can you blame them?

This weekend we're going to try and head to Gruyere (yes, the cheese) and tour the cheese factory. People also recommend going across Lac Leman and visiting Evian. I have heard that if we bring empty bottles, we can fill them up with Evian water for free.

We are finally getting accustomed to Suisse time. The kids are enjoying the daily shopping sprees. They are trying lots of new things, and suprisingly liking a lot of them. They even asked to switch over to the Suisse way of eating, which means having what we typically eat for dinner at lunch time. Then, dinner will be simple bread and cheese with fruit. I think we'll try it for a week and see how the dad likes it. He has good lunch options at work, so it might work out. They are also starting to miss their friends. We looked at some pictures from home today, and our little guy almost started crying. He has started a countdown to when we go home. Part of this countdown includes planning the party he thinks our neighbors should throw when we get back :).
