November in a Nutshell

I have really been a slacker about updating my blog this month but here is just the highlights reel of all the great things that have gone on this month!

Wine tasting near Nyon on Lake Geneva. We got to walk through some beautiful scenery on a not too cold fall day! There was also a little train that you could take from place to place-my favorite part!

Looking through the vines down toward the lake and mountains

Le petit train!

Our group

I love trains!

This month our iCafé was Thanksgiving themed. As the American, I had lots of work to do! We also got pies and other food made for us by people in the local church which was really great!

Together with Brandon, another American, we were dressed up as pilgrims to tell the Thanksgiving story.

All the desserts that people made for us!

We whipped some cream!

Hello, students! 

Raclette is a traditional Swiss meal and I got to try it for the first time this month.

The special raclette set. On top you can fry meats and on the bottom in the little pans you melt your cheese.

Then you put the melted cheese on whatever you want-but usually potatoes!

Bon appétit!

The Christmas markets have begun in Lausanne!

Keeping warm

And sometimes, just for fun we take advantage of just being in Lausanne.

That's right, we can spell!
