Kirsten’s Visit and 29 March 2015 Update

March 29, 2015 Phillip 2 Comments

This has been another busy week.  It started out with laundry day on Monday which only comes twice a month in our new building.  It took all day to get the eight loads we had built up through the one washer and dryer we are allowed to use.  A perk of our new apartment though is … Continue reading Kirsten’s Visit and 29 March 2015 Update →

Olson Visit March 14 & 15 – Geneva & Alps

March 29, 2015 Phillip 1 Comment

Geneva On Sunday March 14th the good Catholics in the family woke up early, took a 15 minute walk to the city of Renens, and attended 8AM Mass.  The church architecture is a modern circular cement building; much different than the old ornate cathedrals we sight-see. The language is French, of course, but it doesn’t feel … Continue reading Olson Visit March 14 & 15 – Geneva & Alps →

Friday March 13th all the Olsons, my parents, three brothers, and one sister-in-law, came to visit.  After making the the trek from the Geneva airport to our apartment, we spent some time unpacking and I opened the “presents” they brought (two suitcases full of our stuff we just couldn’t carry with us when we moved). … Continue reading Olson Visit March 13 & 14 – Lausanne & Lavaux →

Olsons Eating Across Switzerland and Paris

March 26, 2015 Julie Olson 1 Comment

Napolean said “an army marches on its stomach” and that is what the Olson family did on their recent trip through Switzerland and Paris. Our gastronomical adventures started off on a great foot with the quantity of food dispersed on the plane by Delta Airlines.  I guess giving us massive amounts of food and drink … Continue reading Olsons Eating Across Switzerland and Paris →

22 March 2015 Update

March 22, 2015 Phillip 5 Comments

It’s been a whirlwind week of travel with the Olsons.  On Monday everyone, except Melissa, traveled to the town of Villars-sur-Ollons to ski in the Alps.  Melissa was a little nervous about her skill level, so decided to go to work instead.  She guessed correctly, the slopes had no skill level signs and were the steepest and … Continue reading 22 March 2015 Update →
