Parents are here

My parents arrived last Saturday. It's nice to see familiar faces that are happy to see me. It can be a little lonely in a different country. We walked all over Geneve on Sunday because it was so nice out. We walked up to the top of St. Pierre and could see the Alps, Jura, Geneve, le lac Leman, everything. It was really nice. Then it started to downpour. Not just rain lightly, but rain cats and dogs and thunder. The only explanation I had was that we were in Geneve and that's how the weather patterns are. We also ate dinner with my host family the first night. That was humorous...I was the translator for the evening. It was fun.

Then we went to Lausanne and it was a gorgeous day! We went down the hillside to the lac. The section of town is called Ouchy (pronounced oushy) We could see the mountains and around the bend in the lake. It was nice and I got a little tan. The next day, however, was cold, rainy and gray. The rain eventually turned into snow, boooo. My parents and brother then went on to Zurich and I went back to Nyon to start researching...it's ok, I get the whole month of May to travel around.

My family is coming back to Geneve for the weekend before they leave on Monday. I'm trying to plan things that I think are fun in hopes that they will also think are fun. So far, everything we've done has been successful so, I'm not too worried.
