The Hills Are Alive . . .

Well, we're back from apartment hunting in Switzerland. It was a success!
Not only did we find a great apartment but we really enjoyed seeing the countryside around Geneva.
Unfortunately, this is not the view from the apartment, but still a great picture of Mont Blanc, visible across the lake.







Many of the villages are right along the lake and farther up the valley lie the vineyards. We will be living about a 20 min. walk from the lakefront. Switzerland is known for its white wine, so of course Daniel and I had to taste test one (or two).








The view from a cafe in the village of Nyon.













A portion of the gray one will be our apartment. It's an old house that has been renovated into four apartments. We're thankful that we will have three bedrooms, two upstairs and one on the main floor. That means that we'll have a guest bedroom!

And from the peanut gallery . . .

I absolutely love the faces! Tell Analise, her big cousin Hannah caught a fish today...and Jacob and Hannah had their first piano lesson. They both loved it (Jacob commented that it was a lot of fun!)
