Intensive French....Intensive Walking!

In one of the public gardens!

Our new best friend!

The public gardens in Switzerland have everything! They are kept so neat and have tons of fresh veggies!

A beautiful trail through the woods.

On Monday, we started our intensive French classes. In the morning, we met for our first chunk of intensive French with our new teacher. We went over a bunch of questions to ask people and introduced the students in our class. He then realized how far we still need to go! He also barely speaks English which should make this year very interesting! In the afternoon, they decided to take us out for another walking tour for our second chunk of intensive French. What they should have called it was a hike, not a walking tour. We started by walking down to the metro station and riding it up to the last stop possible. We then got out and started our “walk” at the top of this exhibit called Lausanne Jardins 2009. We continued to follow pink and black posts all throughout Lausanne to see different public gardens planted throughout the city and walked all the way back to the Pepperdine house. This may not seem that bad, but we were gone for at least 4 hours and definitely hike down some dirt trails in the middle of the woods. Ironically, I hardly heard any French. Monday night, we went back to Manora for dinner and passed out after a long day!
