In order to restore creativity, keep my writing skills fresh and rest my paws, I have decided to take a Summer Break from the blog for Weeks 14 and 15. It is common for Europeans to take a long vacation in August and as they say, ‘When in Rome…’
Since it’s impossible for me to not write something, I can at least quickly recap these couple of weeks.
Natalie was back in the U.S. visiting her sisters and working on her and Jason’s apartment; Jason worked and went to Germany for a night; I got to spend the night at DDC while Jason was away; and I also had quality time with my Jason exploring various parts of Switzerland and Chamonix.
Since I also can’t avoid posting pictures, here are a few snaps from these two weeks!
(It was curry night at Lindsay and Ken's house (Natalie's sister and brother-in-law.) Here is Lindsay enjoying this very delicious and aromatic curry dish!)
(The next day was curry day for Ken and Lindsay's two sons! Here's Conor with the evidence of his curry consumption in plain view!)
(Tommy got into the curry action as well and here's an action shot of him enjoying this flavorful dish!)
(It was Tommy's birthday and he wanted a football theme for his birthday party. Therefore, Natalie and Lindsay (along with some much needed help from April and Stephanie) made football cupcakes for each of Tommy's friends!)
(To stay true to the football theme for the birthday party and to celebrate one of Tommy's (and Ken's) favorite teams, Natalie and Lindsay made a San Diego Charger's football helmet cake. This particular cake is chocolate with a vanilla icing)
(In order to make sure everyone at the party had enough cake, Natalie and Lindsay also made a Notre Dame football helmet cake (another one of Tommy and Ken's favorite teams.) This is a yellow cake with vanilla icing...and by the way, most of both cakes did get eaten!)
(It's hard to see me, but I am at the end of the dock right by the lake. Jason and I visited Pontresina, which is in the Italian part of Switzerland, while Natalie was in the U.S. On the train ride home, we made a couple of stops, one of which was to this crystal clear lake.)
(On the train back from Pontresina - I love it when I get my own seat)
(Jason and I hiking near Chamonix and admiring a beautiful view of the snow-capped mountains!)
(My new favorite spot in Chamonix - a little stream that is perfect for tadpole fishing and cooling off after a long hike!)
Starting with Week 16, I’ll be back with fresh paws and ready to write about our ongoing adventures here in Switzerland. Until then, À Bientôt!
Paws,
Sabrina
