Bonjour de la Suisse

Hello from Switzerland! ~~ The adventures of a California girl who got married to a great guy, G, and traded in her old life for the chance to live in a foreign land and live the expat life for a couple years. We live in Geneva, Switzerland with our globe-trotting cat, Scout.

Our little corner of Europe

Okay, this may seem a little mundane, but I'm going to try to explain the lay out of our apartment, since we have been getting requests of pictures of our place. So, here it goes...

When you walk in the front door there is a big open area (you can call it the entryway, but it is as big as a room). From the front door looking right, there are two doorways side by side, the living room and the kitchen. Looking to the left are two doors side by side, these are the two bedrooms. Looking straight ahead are two doors, side by side, which are the two bathrooms (one with just a toilet and the other "bath" room with everything else... so European!)

So now that you have the lay of the land, here are some pictures with a little more explanation...

Looking into hall (and across to the bedrooms) from living room doorway. That's our front door on the left behind the coat rack. The two bathroom doors are on the right.

That’s it! The apartment is actually pretty big for European standards, and the hardwood floors are wonderful! We love it and being right in the middle of town makes it even better!!

I'm happy to tell you my mom just arrived this morning for a 12 day trip and tomorrow we are off to Italy, Paris & Barcelona and then we will be back to tour around Switzerland!! So, needless to say, I will not be posting until we return.

I have so much to write, especially about our amazing ski trip to Zermatt last weekend (it was some of the best boarding Gary & I have ever done!!!) We had such a wonderful time, but the tales will have to wait until I'm back.

Have a good week everyone!

Ciao!!

Very Cool, D...
I especially like that you can see Scout observing it all from her perch in the living room.

Have a fun trip!

You place is so clean...i'm sure you didn't "tidy" up just for the pics or for your mom. ;)

Obus...be strong. This too will pass.

All right, I finally got me a log-in to this here blogger thing and will now begin "contributing". Much to my dismay, it looks like some clown has already taken Obus as a username. Who does this guy think he is? I am Obus, damn it! Curses...

I like the pictures. My family was part of a Swiss colony that came here long ago, so I was intrigued with the photos and commentary.
