It's interesting to see what characterizes America in this ad: ketchup, mustard, brownie cookies, angel food cake, maple syrup & pancake mix, Hawiian pizza, etc. It was still exciting. Haha!
The weather has been amazing recently and we did our best to get in some 'water sports' and grilling. 'Water sports' involved laying out by the river on Saturday, getting an extreme sunburn, seeing some interesting bathing suit choices, Adam jumping off a bridge (pictures to come), and me only being able to get into the water up to my waist (water is about 65 degrees). The Rhone river originally comes from a glacier in the Alps, winds it's way to Lake Geneva, then exits and goes through France to the Mediterranean. So, it's freezing!

Yesterday, we went to the lake to have a 'canadienne buffet' (what the French call a potluck). We met five other American friends and hung out, drank wine, 'grilled out', ate a variety of Swiss cheeses and meats, and enjoyed the sunset. It was a great time! We were able to make plans for a 'Mexican Canadienne Buffet' for next weekend. Sounds crazy huh?
Here's evidence of our attempts.... no fireworks or boats though. :(
Check out this next picture. Lindsi and I had to go to the restroom, so this is what we found. We called it the 'squatty potty.' It's the equivalent to squatting in the woods... without the woods. We did appreciate that they had raised places for your feet. I guess whoever designed this wanted to prevent as much splash as possible. Lots of fun. Hope everyone has a nice 4th! Au revoir from Switzerland!
