Weekend Retreat

Out picturesque view

       The other weekend, my bible study went on a retreat about an hour-and-a-half from Geneva. We stayed at a house near Bulle, which is near the Gruyère region. For those who are not familiar with cheeses, Gruyère is famous for their cheese and you see it in every supermarket here. On one of my walks I saw a vending machine that even sold gruyère cheese! Our house faced the mountains and we saw para-gliders land not too far from us.
       We were asked to disconnect from our phones and watches, which was a nice freedom. My group spent the weekend in community, listening to two guest speakers, worshipping, and spending some good quality time with God. It was nice to get away for the weekend and enjoy the beautiful landscape of Switzerland.

Thai Food Experience

One of the Thai dansers

     This past weekend, Nuno, his brother Toni, Toni's girlfriend Luci, and I went out to dinner together to discover the local Thai cuisine. We went to a local place called Na Village, which was gorgeously decorated both inside and out. I did not take pictures of the picturesque environment in the front of the restaurant because it was at night, but I hope to visit again in the spring or summer by day. There were Thai dansers during the meal who changed outfits between each performance. My favorite food that I ate was part of our appetizers: curry-stuffed tofu. The dessert menu came in a wooden case and I ordered the mango sticky rice, which sadly I have had much better in the United States. Overall, however, the meal was delicious and the company was delightful.
