Switzerland

We are in Switzerland. After sad goodbyes to our friends in Russia, a classic family airport dilemma, and lunch in a very American restaurant, we arrived in Zurich. 
Our first full day we spent mostly relaxing, though we went out later in the day to visit family and go to a Christmas market. Swiss Christmas markets are the best. :) Day 2, we headed out to the home of the parents of some good friends of ours. We stopped in Solothurn for lunch. 
After a mug of hot chocolate, I had a most terrible shock. The worst possible thing that could've happened during our trip. Well, maybe not the worst but pretty bad. My camera has stopped working. :'( Exactly 2 years, 2 months and 1 week since I purchased it, it is now dead. :(
Therefore, I will not be able to post any more of my own pictures. Kristina has kindly agreed to let me use any of her pictures I choose, so that's where I'm going to get them until I get a new camera. :'(

We drove over the mountains, into Gruyeres for lunch, and out again to Geneva. Geneva is a lovely little city. We took a tour of the UN building and the Red Cross museum yesterday. We even got to sit in on a conference!! I'm sad to be leaving today. But this evening we will make some traditional buns and leave our shoes out the door for St. NIcholas to fill with lots of chocolate, peanuts and goodies!! :P
