The first few days in Leysin

I know this is long overdue, but I thought I would start trying to post some pictures from my adventures here in Switzerland. I'll start off today, with pictures from my first few days here.

These are pictures from a church below where we are staying.

The Journey Down...

The weather can get a bit dreary and chilly - but can also offer a beautiful rainbow!

The next few pictures are of the inside of the "Grand Hotel" - where we eat, sleep, and attend classes.

This is the banquet hall.

The Mac Computer lab - I've only been in there once! Everyone brings their own laptops.

The cafeteria.

The banquet hall windows.

My floor - I am in room #356 - last room on your left!

This is the view from my balcony, which is connected to everyone else's on my floor. I try to study out there, but can't seem to get anything accomplished - it is so beautiful!

My Bedroom

First Sunday evening in Leysin - we were greeted by the Director of the Leysin American School, and enjoyed some history of the building, and BBQ!

Sunday afternoon Kirsty and I took a walk down to Leysin Village - it was quite a hike!

It's great going down the hills - but this is what you constantly see trying to go back up!

A special treat for us at the bottom of the hill - thankfully, Kirsty speaks French!

The train station.

Another beautiful view!

So there are a few pictures of my first few days here. Come back tomorrow for some pictures form the first week of class!
