Switzerland!

Bonjour! We are in Switzerland, the flight went well. Addie has been flying for most of her life, she is a total pro. Last night we stayed in Lucerne, which is about an hour out of Zurich. They speak swiss german, so ryan was a great translator. We rented a car and drove to Lucerne and stayed in a Swiss Chalet, with a bathroom (water closet) that was shared with the entire floor. It was very european type hotel. I felt like a very adventuorus girl. Online it was said to be a 4 star hotel, our room was maybe 2 stars but the breakfast buffet this morning was the redeeming moment. Besides smelling old and musty, we loved our view of the lake and the gorgeous mountains. I also discovered Nutella this morning. It was the most amazing moment of my life.

We then drove from Lucerne to Geneva and dropped off the rental car. We arrived at our hotel the grand pre, its a great hotel. And we are just down the street from a market and a boulangerie and patissire. I am excited to try the breakfast buffet tomorrow. I also have a lunch card to eat at the University. Tomorrow i need to try inderstanding the bus schedule so that i can get myself to the mall! H & M here I come!

I had the best vegetable samosas tonight at a little turkish restraunt! They were so cute with Addison, everyone kept bringing her treats and bags of french fries. She has learned to say Merci and Au revoir. Its about the cutest thing i have ever heard


Pictures soon.
