Freebird in Freiburg

I am so so sorry for the cheesy title of todays blog... But it was a little funny... Right??

It's crazy to me that you can hop in your car, drive 30 minutes, then find yourself in another country. Especially coming from Springfield where if you drive 30 minutes all you'll run into is Hillbilly Mart or Dixie Stampede (true story).

Here are some highlights from our day in Germany!

Still don't know how he managed this...

Oh, Starbucks. A place where there are no language barriers!

What I'm listening to- Alabama Shakes 'Heavy Chevy'

Have a happy Wednesday!

Day trip to Colmar

Colmar was exactly what I expected France to look like. I think it's technically a village, though...
Well, whatever it's called, it's gorgeous. Have a look-see!  

This is the cutest couple in the history time ever.

He was too cool not to snap a quick picture!

I love love love the old time feel of this place. All of the bright colored houses(I've decided I want mine in turquoise) and little boutiques everywhere had us walking around for hours!
There is another city called Strasbourg that everyone has been raving about so I might have to give that city/town/village a go.

Next up, Fribourg, Germany!

Whoops!

So, I thought I would be a little more diligent in my blogging but I got too busy living and had to put this on the back burner for a bit...

This month has been full of good things! I've gotten to know my French family a bit more, made a few friends(Ah! French friends!!), and even started sewing! More on that later.
 Here are a few snaps from this month.

Finally found a Starbucks in Friburg, Germany 

Dear Colmar, you're doing it right.

 Looking forward to another good month!

Home sweet home

Switzerland is insanely gorgeous. Like, take your breath away, don't want to blink in fear of missing something kind of gorgeous.

My first view was flying over the Swiss Alps just as the sun was rising- what a welcome! After I landed and found my ride I was surprised with a full day of running around Switzerland. We walked around Zurich for a few hours, saw the Rhine-falls, and made our way to Basel for lunch, boat rides and a bit of thrifting! It was a full day that ended with a good walk around Mulhouse- my home sweet home for the upcoming weeks.

I also got to hang out with the kids I'll be watching! And they're pretty much awesome. So excited to get to know them!
