Laowai

I’m alone for a few days. Brian is in Paris – that’s not unusual. Bea is in Italy for a school trip and Claire is off to the Swiss mountains for a school trip. 

Bea left Monday – she’s going to Rome and near Naples. Their flight was delayed so they ended up missing some activities and getting to their hotel after midnight. But I heard from her this morning and I think she’s having lots of fun. They got to visit a farm and make their own pizza. She said the pizza was the best she every tasted! And then they had pizza rounds with nutella on top for dessert! She was looking forward to going to Herculaneum today. I’ll make sure she makes a full report after she comes home Friday.

Claire left today for three days and two nights in the mountains – an area called Kandersteg. She’ll get to hike to a glacier! Here she is playing one of those clapping games that girls play (love that) and waiting to board the bus.

I’m enjoying my alone time. I’m doing some sewing and I think I’ll go to the Textile Museum in St. Gallen tomorrow. It’s something I’ve wanted to see but I know Brian and the girls are not into looking at lace and old clothes.
