Friday and Saturday

Friday I had class, messed around during the afternoon and early evening and then met some of the aupairs and some other people at the HB clock (Haubtbahnhof meeting area in Zurich) and we went out to this Indian bar to celebrate for Abbey. One of the Aupairs who is leaving to go back to New Zealand. The Indian bar was beautiful, the decorations were so pretty with all these sofa things on the floor. It was so packed we didn't stay long but decided to go to another bar, which is above a carwash and was so sophostocated. I felt like I should be wearing Prada!

Abbey, Megan

A new aupair (can't remember her name, feel so bad!)

The two french girls, one was from Canada and the other from France. Haha, they cracked my up when they were arguing who's French was the "correct" French.

At the indian bar I decided to buy a drink and ordered a Long Island Iced tea for myself and another gal and they were 22 francs each!?! I could not believe it!!! What in the world. Lol! Suffice it to say that even if I wanted to drink anything more I couldn't. I just had enough for the night train home.

While we were at the Car Wash, Bec told the singer that it was Meg's b-day (which wasn't the case, she just wanted to embarass her, lol) and the singer serenaded her!

At about midnight we all decided to be spontaneous and take Ethan's sailboat out on the Meilen lake and go swimming at 2am in the light rain. lol. So a few of us went to Meg's to borrow swimsuits and then we went swiming for an hour and then we all went our separate ways. I waited for my train at 4am at HB and then finally walked in my door at 4:40am, collapsing at 5am and sleeping super late the next morning.

Saturday night I went to Lacey's host family's house and met her aupair family who are lovely and their nieghbors with their wee bairn. I held her and it has been so long since I have held such a tiny one! :-) They make me nervous at that age but love it when they can be a bit rougher, like 1 1/2 or so. :-D She was so beautiful! We had a fantastic supper and just talked and visited and then back home for me by midnight! Yay! I then worked on laundry, took in my jeans, went to bed about 3 am and then was up getting ready at 7.45 for today's outing to Gruyere, but I'll talk about that later. ;-)

Pictures of my weekend 2 wochende ago. :-D These pictures are seriously out of order. :-(

Ang filling up her water bottle. That is the great thing about Switzerland. Wherever there is a water spout the water is drinkable and so good! I also learned on this trip to always bring toilet paper, food of some sort when traveling, and just be prepared for anything, lol.
The MONASTERY!!!
