A walk in the city


It has been quite a while since I arrived in Geneva and the city never ceases to amaze me. But now that we are living in another municipality--half an hour tram ride-- every outing is somekind of special excursion specially for my eldest who would say "wow!" to everything that she sees like a truly village girl that she is now.

Our recent family outing was not an exception and though it was drizzling, off we went and headed to the city. I thought the weather would deter many people from taking a walk but I was mistaken. Though shops were closed, cafés and fastfood restos were open.


I must say that we rarely eat at fastfood restaurant but on this particular day, my small family went to SwissMeal. Hubby and I agreed that the hamburger is better than McDo.


The rain stopped. The girls were tired. Then it was time to leave and go back to our quiet neighborhood. We have enjoyed the day.

Vacation over

It's kinda hard to get up early again after 2 weeks of staying up late.I've started taking the girls early to bed and of course, they're awake at around 6h30. My husband on the other hand has started working and I think he misses his late mornings. Now it's back to normal sched again. Now, I'm lazily doing my chores and still hoping that my mug of coffee will take effect soon. How do you get back to normal routine after weeks of vacation?

Our mid-week get away in Dijon

Dijon, one of the cities in France, was the destination of our mid-week get away. The city,which is well known for its mustard,is a 3-hour train ride from Genève via Lausanne. As I've mentioned in my previous post ,this was my first time to visit the city. We arrived mid-day to a gloomy surrounding and headed to Quick, sort of Jollibee here. Yet,the real treat was in the old town. Walking on the paved street for me was like being transported to another era. Aside from Musée des Beaux-Arts Dijon, we were able to visit Cathédrale de Saint Bénigne and the Notre Dame de Dijon. However,due to time constraint we were not able to visit other places. Our evening meal was in Le Théâtre des Sens, a small but cozy restaurant and where I've tried escargot. Yes, I did and blame it on the kir! Our dinner was really good,the waiter was very cheery and accomodating. We stayed at the Hotel Des Ducs where we spent the rest of the night watching crime scene investigation. Ah! the joy of havin...

Let it snow, let it snow--man!

The rasta-inspired creation of my hubby and Ms.K After loads of rolling here and there, it's done. Our first snowman of the season.;)It might not last long and will surely lose its precious eyes by tomorrow, but for now let's enjoy that smile. This reminds me of something, I just can't put my finger on it. Hmmm, do you have any idea? Think...think...! Eh-oh! Smile, it's Monday!
