A spontaneous reunion.. definitely the best ones...

Mais bonjour à toute la monde!

Just a really quick update on the past few days...

I have officially begun my Autumn Vacation. Haha, yes you heard that right.. Autumn Vacation, 2 weeks of "regrouping" before heading back to school. I swear, Europe is definitely a continent of fêtes et vacances... but I have no problem with that. 

Saturday I ended up going to 2 Expositions with the fam... a furniture one, and then the infamous "champignon" exposition... I would like to stress once more how much my host dad here loves his mushrooms. I'll admit, it was interesting... but after 3 hours of staring at fungi? Tell me if I'm wrong, but I was about to sit on the floor and bang my hands up and down like a 2 year old having a temper-tantrum.. perhaps if I caused enough embarrassment we would leave sooner. But being the polite woman I am, I smiled graciously at the 236th different species of fungi that was shoved under my nose to "smell the wondrous scent". After that, we returned home, popped open a nice 1996 Bordeaux bottle of rouge and relaxed. Nazia came over after dinner.. we had some dessert and watched a french film.. naturally I understood only 40% of what was going on; I pulled off the Joey from friends and laughed when everyone else laughed in order to not seem completely dense.

Sunday was such a blessing!! I hoped on a train to Geneve at 8:01, and met up with a girl I used to work with at camp, Caitlin, or for those who only go by camp names "Baloo". I was such a bizarre feeling meeting up with someone I actually KNEW from CANADA.. We talked a mile a minute, attended church in France (a really awesome english church.. not as kicking as Marshall's worship, but still..) Then went for pizza and just strolled the streets of Geneve. Lots of laughs, and definitely meeting up again soon!

Today, I'm just getting some stuff together for a little package I'm sending... strolled the streets of La Chaux-de-Fonds... and who knows what else! The day is young :)

Bisous!
