Geneva

Finally, a chair that's not too short for me :)

The United Nations Office

Ariana Museum, of course it was open every day except for Monday, the one day of the week we happened to be there



Petite Sirène du Léman (Little Mermaid of Lake Geneva)

Maison de Saussure, the house in which Ronald Reagen stayed in during the Geneva Summit in 1985








Fribourg

Went to a Rotary meeting this past weekend in Fribourg, and got a chance to walk around the city a bit afterwards. It was the first time seeing snow for some of the exchange students. Let's just say the novelty wore off pretty quick once they realized how cold it was. 




Biel

These photos were taken in the Taubenloch Gorge in Biel/Bienne. It's an easy one hour hike with beautiful scenery. There was even a peacock wandering around the woods.

Mykonos

Just got back from after spending an incredible week in Greece with my host family. We went to the island Mykonos, which has under 10, 000 inhabitants. 

Cats, which are literally everywhere. Feed one in a restaurant and you'll soon be surrounded by a whole crowd of them. 


As we were exploring the town on the first day, we managed to walk in on a photoshoot. They were actually quite a few taking place in the area





The old lighthouse, Armenistis, built in 1891

Camping Trip

On Friday I got back from a five day camping trip with my class in Lenk, a popular place for skiing.


View from the train


On the second day, we took cable cars up a mountain.


We hiked for a few hours, and had lunch not far from where the cow is standing in the picture below. 


On the way back down, we rode these scooters.

Some of the other lodges surrounding the area we stayed in. 




The Siebenbrunnen falls
