the two weekends that passed
two weeks have passed since my last entry, my lazy bones are just getting the best of me, because of the early snowfall here (record in 55 yrs!) - but it snowed around 3x here down in vevey, while i'm assuming almost everyday in places in a bit higher altitude in the last two weeks. besides, it's just so nice to stay in bed and keep warm - after all the chores are done. so, where were we in the weekends of the freezing weather? well, of course we have to keep safe, keep warm and stay... in our jackets! :p apparently, the cold weather got us in the mood to go out to explore and play. :) last, last weekend, we spent the day in the old town of fribourg. we just went around town, to see their old Cathedral de Saint Nicholas, the drive entering the old town was just amazing, the whole town looked like a painting, the gloomy skies set the mood, too! here's a shot from the bridge, the kids are in the car since it was just too cold! more photos here. After the strolling, we went to where we really planned to be, an overnight MER. :) and last Saturday, having no plans for the day, we woke up late had brunch and went out to go to where a lot of snow fell. braving a -8 degrees weather (leaving our place with a +2 degrees temperature), we dived in to the fresh, still flaky snow and just enjoyed an hour in it... an hour is all we can take, actually! we were not fully equipped, and our feet were just freezing already - good thing i geared up franco with his ski suit and snow boots so he really had a grand time! we weren't very happy with the photos so we're planning to come back, may this coming weekend... but we first need to buy our own snow boots, because it looks like we'll be frequenting that place this season. i think we're beginning to get the hang of winter :).
