The Swiss Way of Life

Today I learned a few important things about the Swiss culture. They always kiss three times, starting on the left side. Don't make that mistake. Secondly they have excellent apple juice. A neighbour of Martha's, the friend I am staying with, has an apple orchard in her backyard!! No apples in this season, but home made apple juice all year round, yum! Next, they know how to treat to a nice lunch. I won't ruin it with words, just quickly glance at the picture below. Lastly, they know how to make a great first impression as kind and welcoming people. Just today I was introduced to many families who all welcomed me to their homes whenever. One family even invited me to a road trip to the alps (not too far, don't be fooled by the words "road trip"). We will be hiking tomorrow and staying the night. Then Saturday we will visit a chocolate and cheese factories!

  1. Uy que rico, paseillo con caminata por los alpes. Hemos estado imaginando como te va, como han funcionado las botas, el morral, el empaque. Mannana tenemos invitacion a almorzar con Sonya y Emmanuel (amigos de Martha y Enrique) y despues a comer con Apen y Jeanette Carbo. No alcanzamos a hablar por la tarde. Sera la semana entrante. Sin embargo apenas tengamos noticias de Nea en St. Gallen te contamos.
    Que pases rico!
