All Over ... Bye Switzerland


Well its over now, my time at finishing school in Switzerland has come to an end. But it went out with a bang. Awesome Week!


THURSDAY, JUNE 7, 2012.

We took our IVP teacher for tea (no pictures) but we then had to rush back to enjoy the best dinner of the school year, French style hot dogs! (Baguette with a hole in the middle then the sausage)





FRIDAY, JUNE 8, 2012.


We went for dinner at Le Rouvenaz ... one of our last dinners together :( 

I know am  always eating or talking about food. HAHA

Dinner was followed by a walk along the lake.




If you have been to Montreux, you would know there is a famous statue of Freddie Mercury. Until this day I had never taken a picture of or with it. 

If you are like me, and don't know who he was, he was a British musician, singer and songwriter, best known as the lead vocalist and lyricist of the rock band Queen. He died November 24, 1991 .. Maybe why I don't know him!

SATURDAY, JUNE 9 - WEDNESDAY, JUNE 13, 2012

How was you week?
Mine was bitter sweet, happy its coming to an end but sad at the same time.

THURSDAY MAY 31, 2O12.
So little translation, this is the invitation to my graduation dinner (in french).

 This is the dress I bought last week for graduation. Just for Senior Citizen ... not too sexy *wink*




Here is my graduating class, We are a small group but it was a great year! 
I don't get my certificates till after my french exams, so final certificates is pending my french grades.

FRIDAY, MAY 1, 2012.

Summer has reached Montreux the sail boats are on the lake and the shorts are out in droves.   Only problem with this heat is this country doesn't use AC's or fans ... so 82 degrees is very HOT!
