The Random Mind: Catching up and a little bit of France

Catching up and a little bit of France

We're keeping busy these day tramming around, having coffee, studying, eating, and living life. :) Here are some snapshots:

The view from the tram one morning on my way to German class

My teacher

She's pretty goofy

Tramming it like a pro

Bought a two volume set! I've already made a soup (which was okay) white sauce, and Tartflette!

The process for downloading all of our pictures from Gimmelwald was painfully long

Those pictures wouldn't exist if it weren't for this beast!

An awesome church we came across while walking around town one day

Found a little coffee shop tucked away in a little square in the center of town

Ate the Swiss traditional dish of Rosti (basically hashbrowns)

The baking powder comes in little packets here

Since I don't have a muffin pan, I changed a snickerdoodle muffin recipe to work as a loaf! Yum!

Before the Tartiflette was put in the oven.

Potatoes, onions, bacon, cheese, white wine, and cream!

Homemake scones

Last Saturday we bought bikes!

I'm currently no longer afraid of the gas burners and love lighting those suckers on fire!

Had a creative afternoon

Aprons are so overrated when you can just tuck a dishtowel

A new favorite accessory

Waiting for the tram with my bag of groceries

Enjoyed a cup of joe with the hubby one morning

A very special surprise trip from my amazing husband to Colmar, France!

There's supposedly a really good farmers market here every Saturday! We'll have to go sometime!

Lots of beautiful train stations in France

Colmar's train station

In Colmar, they not only have traffic lights for cars, but also for bikes

Wish this was our hotel, but is the very beautiful Town Hall building

Just a really cool tower in a nearby park

Statue of Frederic Auguste Bartholdi the French sculpter famous for designing the Statue of Liberty

Our hotel, le Colombier

le Colombier's courtyard

Interesting modern sculpture

Stone spiral staircase leading to the rooms

View from our room window

Colmar is known as Little Venice for it's Italian style

Tons of beautiful buildings and side streets

Bartholdi museum

Beautiful stone church

Mnnnnn coffee

Thought this was hilarious! Vraiment fort means really strong in French, so they're comparing the strength of the chocolate to this mans abs

Lunch!

There was an egg in my carbonara

Such colorful buildings
