Short Summary of Fall Break

I was in school for two weeks and then we had fall break. It was soo nice. The swiss kids had been in school since the beginning of august so they were ready for break!!! Fall break started the 14th of September and ended the 14th of October. I am not going to go into detail of what all i did during fall break bc that would take too long!! So here is a short ist of what i did:


Hung out with Becca, Kristen and Maggie several times(they are other exchangers)

Shoppping in Bern, several times, once with natasha and then a couple of times with Deborah and Alisa, swiss friends from schoool. we also got starbucks!! hmm! yumm!!!! except its really expensive.

Two trips to Basel, once with Maggie, Kristen and the AFSers, and another time with Becca, Kristen and Mitch. I bought a really cute outfit from New Yorker in Basel. Its just a plain black babydoll style dress/jumper. I also bought a really cute shirt for only 8 franks!! whoo!!

Dying Hair/Sleepover at Kristen's house in Hochdorf, near Luzern. Girls present: Becca, Kristen, Maggie, Ana, Genesis, and me! We died Becca's and Kristen's hair, well actually technically Genesis did. haha she also cut Kristen's hair. She did a super job on both of the girls!! It was a really fun day bc it was just girls!! haha

Golden Pass trips, its a scenic train ride through the mountains. The first one i took was with Maggie, Kristen and Becca, we went from Luzern to Interlaken! absolutely gorgeous!! especailly with all the fall colors!!! nothing like texas! haha we then had a picinic in Interlaken and had a HUGE chocolate bar!! its was sooo pleasant! haha the second Golden Pass Train I took was from Spiez to Montreuz via Zweissemmen. this time it was just me and nelly! It was another GORGEOUS train ride!! the colors are soo amazing!! we then had a picinic in Montreux on the lake!. We also had gelato!! it was sooo delicious!! picinicing is like my new favorite thing to do here!! there are so many pretty towns so its really nice to see them!!

of course my trip to germany as well, but you can read about that in the previous post.

I visted my host sisters in Lausanne! It was really fun. Their apartments are really neat!! I got to see some of Lausanne. I also got to go the Knie, which is a famous circus here in switzerland. It was all in french so i definelty didnt understand what they were saying. But it was stil quite enjoyable!!! i wasnt allowed to take pictures. :( but it still was really amazing!!

I also took a trip to Ticino which was really fun. I stayed with a friend of my host dad's. She had the cutest little girls. They were trilingual and they were only 6 and 8 years old. They could speak Italian, French and German! I was soo amazed and jealous!!

Sunday, 14th of October, i went on a hike with my host family and it was absolutely amazing!! i climbed to the very top of the mountain!! It was soo amazing!! The view was absolutely breathtaking!!! I uploade some pics from the hiking trip: here is the link: http://hs.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2001523&l=0f2fe&id=1517040103

oh and yesterday, the 15th of oktober, after school, i went to dudingen and hung out with alice and nelly. we baked or tried to bake american chocolate chip cookies. they didnt taste anything like american chocolate chip cookies. they tasted like bread with some chunks of chocolate in them. Nelly also made sugar cookies and she had a pumpkin cookie cutter and icing!! we decorated the pumpkins!! it was really funn!!!
