Anne + Julien x 2 = Good Times

Anne came this week and stayed in lovely Suisse with me! It was so much fun. We monopolized on Julien's car and went to Montreux and the Chateau de Chillion and then went back along the other side of the lake (the French side). It was nice to see teh other viewpoints from the lake.

That was only one day. I took Anne to the WHO were I wrote three pages of my paper (!) as she sat patiently and surfed the web. Then we walked around Geneva to show her the happenin' places in Geneva. We ate at Chez Ma Cousine, which I do not recommend because they specialize in chiken dishes and the chicken isn't even that good. Word to the wise...

Later on in the week, Julien's friend, Julien 2 came from Paris. It was funny to ask them both questions and finally I began distinguishing between the two: Juju et Julien. We went over to Shannon's house for a hot tub night which was fun. And, Greg Stone (someone else I have met since being in Geneva) played a concert on his guitar. It was excellent.

The following day I went to Gruyere! Where they make the famous cheese for fondue and chocolates. Although I didn't partake in the cuisine, it smelt good in the streets. Instead, the Juliens and I ate on a hillside in the middle of the Alps. I felt like I was an extra in The Sound of Music and was waiting for Julie Andrews to start singing. It was that beautiful. I'll put some pictures up later. We then thought it would be a good idea to go to the top of a mountain on the gondola. It was, until we walked outside and saw snow. I was not wearing proper attire, but still hiked to the summit and ruined my shoes in the process. But, it was fun.

When we got back home, we were famished so I made the boys pancakes. It was kind of cute because they were used to eating crepes so they ate them like they would a crepe. They put cheese on them, jam (not that wierd) and nutella. I couldn't find syrup because really I think that pancakes and syrup must be an American phenomenon.

That was my exciting week. On the side, I also made some progress on my monster of a paper. Eek!
