So happy new year to all! I had a beautiful amazing grand holiday. My friend from UW-Madison that is studying in Germany, alex, came to visit for 3 days with his brother. For new years we went into Zurich, which has the largest new years celebration in switzerland. We decided to have fun dressing up in tie-dye and I wore my patchwork pants, and face paint. We got to zurich about 9:50 and found a stage to dance at, and on... then we piled onto a bridge that everyone gets on for the countdown and then watched the fireworks, very exciting. then more dancing at the stage until they closed it at 2:30 then dancing in a bar until they closed it at 4:30 and then heading back to bern and making it to our beds at 8am... sore and without voices. We met many kind and awesome people (and had the brilliant idea of making 'buisiness cards' with our fake names [I was peni lane] with our emails in case we met cool people that we would want to talk to again) and had a remarkable time, and we all remembered it quite well.
HAPPPY NEW YEARS!!!

Classic Bern. Clock Tower. Apparently people come to see it chime on the hour because some puppets dance somewhere... or something? i heard it isn't too exciting.
Geneva
The classic geneva shot. You can walk up to this.. thing (some french name) and get all wet (i did)
geneva
The giant flower clock in geneva... interesting, very swiss
Mr. Marc Riese
This is the father of the children Marc. He is very kind as is Susanne the mother. Kind of a goof too.
Awe
Probably my favorite gnome beauty wise. Many favorites on different levels, another I enjoyed a lot was one that looked like a knight and began to urinate when you walked past him.
The Sunset
The sunset from the plane, only to be adorned by a sunrise about 3 hours later. Strange but wonderful.
The Creek
This is the creek as seen from a bridge that is only about a mile away from their house. There are large rocks you can see that have been shaped by the water in the picture. The water is usually very clear and the children often go for a quick dip in it on sunny days.
Bike Ride
The whole family went on a bike ride to a creek about a mile from their house. This is Johanas part way into the bike ride.
