watson home-making part 01: ferney-voltaire, france
Posted by torytolles | Filed under Home-Making, Switzerland
Chris and I are temporarily staying in the most delightful flat just across the Swiss border in France. Our host, Christine, left for Budapest a few hours after picking us up from the airport (where another lady gently crashed into her car - after Chris and I were half an hour late because we left something on the plane in Frankfurt).
We have an enormous porch that overlooks a bucolic pasture. There is a hotel complex’s pool just to the left of this view. On our run this afternoon, Chris and I figured out how we might sneak in and go for a swim!
Our apartment is HUGE (nearly five times the size of our “apartment” in Providence). We have a kitchen, a dining room, a living room, two bedrooms, TWO bathrooms, and TWO hallways. Each of the main rooms opens onto our porch, so we get lots of sunlight and fresh air:)
For our first European dinner, we had une baguette, du fromage francais, du salade, et du chocolat suisse. Voila!
traveling is funny!

So yeah yeah yeah we’re safe and all that stuff.
A shot from Lufthansa’s corporate statement about the environment etc. etc. Pretty nice (bilingual!) layout, no? You really got to give them credit for pulling off the gold/grey combo.
Somebody in the EU Parliament missed the memo about politically motivated intentional subtlety on cigarette warning ads. “Wait, smoking does what?!” Doesn’t seem to be working, though.
So can marauding porcupines.
Leave it to the Germans to name a shopping plaza after a poet/philosopher (taken while on layover in Frankfurt). Oh, and nice skirt on the girl.
You finally get to Geneva, Switzerland. What do you see above your head? COMIC SANS. I am totally not making this up people.
peace out homeslices

In just a few hours, Tory and I will be enjoying les pommes frites and Perrier aboard our privately chartered trans-Atlantic hot air balloon journey. It’s been real. And yes, the four backpacks you see in the photo below are the totality of our possessions for the year. Viva onebag.com!
