Another week is about to be underway here at Patrick Henry. We just switched our clocks for daylight savings time this past weekend so it was tough to get up this morning!
This past weekend we ventured to Gruyeres, Switzerland. It was a perfect little Swiss town nestled at the base of the Alps with a Castle on the hill. Picture perfect! Our first stop was at the first Swiss chocolate factory. We went through a tour on the history and making of chocolate and then went an all you can eat chocolate bar! It sounds like heaven until you get about 2/3 of the way around. I was about to bust with chocolate! Next we moved on to a Gruyeres cheese making factory and tour. That place was the true definition of stinky cheese! Needless, to stay we didn't stay long there. I thought the stench would be forever engrained in my nose! The rest of the day was spent in the fresh Swiss air walking through the hills, having a picnic with the boys and buying a few postcards.
This is yet another busy week in Germany. I have almost all of my TPA writing finished! I just need to scan all of the student work in and finish up a few last questions. It will be a huge weight lifted once we finish that. We are heading downtown one night, to a teacher's house for our usual Wednesday home cooked dinner (a lifesaver for getting through the week!!) and Friday we are heading to Munich for the weekend!
Its a bit strange to have this feeling but I actually miss that little Pullman town!
