Disappointment...

One totally awesome thing about me being in Switzerland in this specific year is the fact that the Euro 2008 (Europe's biggest Soccer/Football tournament) is taking place in the city I live in this year. The thing that sucks is it's practically impossible to get a ticket unless you want to sell your first born baby...and i don't have any of those so I'm gonna have to miss out on the live action :(
BUT...at least it's possible to sit outside the stadium and watch on the big screens...for much cheaper...but it's still not the same...

Procrastinator to the Max...

Forgive me for not posting sooner...but i'm kinda busy...haha...but seriously...my trip so far has been amazing.

First few days in Switzerland were a blur...meeting tons of new people...going on picnics...I've already been to Italy as well...Florence and Milan to be exact...Florence takes my pic out of those two...my travel buddy and i ended up sleeping in a train station for 4 hours on that trip as well. oh and how can i forget almost getting squished by the train door as it was leaving. The train was super full and no one was moving to let me in...we ran from door to door and no one was budging and then the train started moving without me in it...and Gabi was already in...my life seriously flashed before my eyes in that moment...i forced myself in somehow...and then after laughing my head off for a minute i looked around...and there was TONS of room...those jackasses were just too lazy to move over a bit more! seriously!...anyways...italy was cool...i saw the Uffizi museum...the one with Botticelli's The Birth of Venus...and some Michealangelo etc...pretty cool stuff...and we biked around for a while...on one of those cool bikes with the basket in front...we ate gelato everyday, SCRUMPTIOUS!! and yes, the coffee is great too, even if i'm not a coffee drinker really...

the family i'm nannying for is great...the parents are super nice, the mom is a slight perfectionist, but in a good way i guess haha...the dad is funny and not a jerk which i was afraid of...but nope he's awesome too...the boys are funny...rambuncious (spell?) and slightly hyper and they get whatever they want but still good boys...and quite easy to take care of...

my cooking skills are being tested at times, which was much needed so that's an added perk. I made a cake yesterday for the first time..AND the icing...and it was quite successful...and then i had to make it again for one of the boys at school...and they all loved it...

so overall things are wonderful so far...i will post some pictures of all the highlights so far...the first 5 are just out and about Geneva, Interlaken and Nyon Switzerland...and then the last 5 are from Milan and Florence Italy...
