Fin des Vacanes

Salut!

During the last week of winter vacation I took several day trips with my host family, laura and zion, and of course hung out with Simon some too. :)

Before all the snow melted, Simon and I had a couple of days to play in it. Basically we buried each other in the snow, and then started to build an igloo, which just turned into an all out snowball war. Good times :)
Here are some pictures:

Trip to Martigny, and the St. Bernard museum:
One day Laura and I went to the St. Bernard museum in Martigny. We had a little trouble finding the place, but after asking about ten people someone finally gave us a map, and then we were good to go. In the winter they keep all the St. Bernards at this museum, so we got to see them, and then there was this random museum on Napal on the top floor, so we picked up some Asian culture as well. In the museum they had a lot of interesting information on the St. Bernard Pass (of course), and the history of how St. Bernard's helped stranded travelers.

Hmmm… Which way?

Found it!

Note the Rotary symbol in the top right corner :)

Trip to Gruyère Cheese Factory:
On the last day of vacation Francine, Simon, and I went to Bulle to visit the Gruyère Museum, unfortunately it was under construction, and wouldn't be open until next November-a little late for me. So we ended up taking a tour of  the Gruyère Cheese Factory, and eating samples. Yum :)

Here are some pictures:

And then, just like that, winter vacation was fini.


Au revoir,
