What a nice day today. It was Swiss National Day and a group of us headed down to the waterfront for the day. There was a fair with food, beer and various vendors. I bought a fabulous teal sun hat with a bow. It was great to people watch, or more specifically dog watch. Dana and I had a great time watching all of the cute puppies trot by. I was good and only had one Heineken the whole day but I did splurge and eat a delicious passion fruit gelato. Yummy!
After a while we found a great spot on the steps in front of a nice water feature in the middle of the park. We chatted and waited for the sun to set for the fireworks display. Even as an adult I still love to see the sky light up with beautiful fireworks. It was quite romantic actually. The only thing I was missing was a hot Swiss guy to hold me hand. Just give me some time ;)
It was a great day in Lausanne and a fabulous weekend overall. Dinner and dancing on Friday, relaxing Saturday, pool party on Sunday and a waterfront stroll on Monday. Not bad for my first full week in Switzerland. Now the real work begins. We have our first two classes tomorrow in finance and business metrics. I'm looking forward to diving into the academics but I am still going to try to soak up the sun on the weekends. After all it is still summer ;)
