Luke is attending the local Swiss school. He has been doing fabulous with the adjustment and I'm hoping he gets fluent in German (or rather, Swiss-german) sooner than later so he can translate for me-or at least read cooking directions on food packaging to me! One of the differences of Swiss school that is working in his favor is the schedule. He gets out of school everyday from 11:45 to 1:45 for lunch and goes back for afternoon class on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays he doesn't have to go back. He is a free man by 11:45! So, on a Wednesday afternoon-Lia and I took the boys to Rapperswil, a charming village on the southern tip of Lake Zurich. We toured the small castle, and a church, and then decided to head to a children's zoo that we heard was there. An unexpected and surprisingly random highlight of the outing was that Lia and Luke and Isaac got to ride on an Elephant! Wow, riding on an Asian Elephant in the Swiss alps...not bad for a regular 'ole school day afternoon.
just like napoleon... isaac and luke were looking around and waving, and i was kind of freaking out, an elephant is REALLY high up, wow! all i can say is wow!
