Blooms taking over La Suisse!!!

Monday: And so another week begins!  I can not believe my trip is over 1/2 way over!  Today Mom and Dad wandered around the city and I went to work…but I got to meet them for lunch! 
We ate at a delicious Italian restaurant and I made them try all my favorite chocolates and a Renverse (a yummy coffee drink)!  After work I med up with them at their hotel and we went to dinner with some of my friends from my trip. We went to Le Brassiere, which is a local brewery. 

We ate some typical Swiss dishes and got a Beer Giraffe! 
After dinner we got some delicious Movenpick gelato and waffles! 



Tuesday: Mom and Dad enjoyed Annecy, France while I was at work …but we had an awesome evening! After work I met them at their hotel and we went for dinner and drinks in one of my favorite parts of Geneva, 
Carouge.  (For more about Carouge see previous post)  We ate at a great restaurant called Qu’ Importe. 

Mom wants to open up a restaurant just like it in Baltimore…  We got fresh cheese, prosciutto, and
bruschetta as well as incredible drinks.  My personal favorite was called, ironically enough, the Rachel Beer.  This beer is made with white beer, grapefruit juice, and almond flavoring!  After dinner we got café au lait and played backgammon at a local cafe! 



Wednesday: Wednesday we went to Zermatt, where the Matterhorn is located.  We took the inter Switzerland train to Visp and then the Glacier express form Visp to Zermatt. It was a beautiful train ride.  

Zermatt is an adorable ski town.  Mom and I were discussing and decided that it is what all ski towns in America try to be!  We took the cable car up and went to a beautiful viewing location.  We walked around town, ate some chocolate, and shopped.  We took the train back and arrived in Geneva and headed straight to Seven Arts Bar for some live music, toasties, and Desperados!  It was a great last day to a great trip with the rents!  This morning we met for coffee and said good-bye to Mom and Dad!  Tomorrow I have class and then am heading to Luasanne to spend Shabbat with one of Uncle Jon’s friends and his family.  I am really looking forward to a home cooked meal!!  

Thanks Mom and Dad for an awesome week!  You guys are the best!
Lots of Love from Geneva!!!! 

See you in 28 days!
