HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

06 January 2012


I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and will have a wonderful and prosperous New Year. We've spent the last few weeks with friends and family in Chicago and New York. We are currently with D's family in New York and I'm heading to Las Vegas for work and my little sister's wedding on 28 January and D will be going back to Geneva for a few weeks for a conference (in Pisa - lucky guy) and will be coming to LV for Justine's wedding.

I feel like every few posts I say... "Whoops, I haven't written in awhile." So again, whoops, I haven't written in awhile. December was great - we went to some Christmas markets and headed to Paris to meet our friend Sam before Christmas. More pictures to come...hopefully.

So since I'm still on D's parents' visit to Switzerfrancerland (um, in November) here are some shots of the beautiful Matterhorn in Zermatt. If the shape looks familiar, its because Toblerone are modeled after the mountain!
Many of the old buildings in Zermatt were these 'cheese houses' 
The houses were placed on wooden stakes with a flat stone perched on top. This prevented mouses from  getting to the cheese! 

We'll be in Geneva until the end of 2012. Our travel plans this year are not cemented yet - in February we are meeting Dave's parents and sister Rachel in Portugal and traveling to Lisbon and Porto; in March two of my very good girlfriends are coming to visit us and we're going to skiing in the Berner Oberland and Chamonix and visiting Barcelona. Since this is our last year in Geneva, we hope to travel as much as 2011 BUT my law school loans are coming off forbearance so I'm not sure how much travelling we will be doing. I hope 2012 brings you all happiness and joy - and if you want to come visit, let us know!
