Loooooooook at what I found!

Here are some pictures of my wanderings so far! 


They have these really beautiful water fountains all over the city, and you can just cup your hand and drink right out of the fawcette. The water is wonderful!


This was taken today only 1/2 a mile from where I'm living, which is funny because we live in a townhouse right in the middle of suburbia.

Here's a really pretty house. They are all about decorating with flowers here, (almost to the point of snootiness) and I applaud that.
Here in Switzerland they recycle their bathroom equipment into planters:) America, take note.

Really pretty apple orachard right next to the random corn field and highway.
This road is right next to the immaculate house and the apple orchard:) I wanted to go further past the gate, but then some crotchety man came and locked it. I bite my thumb at him.
Pretty view from the road.
Another pretty view.
This is the castle I found earlier this week. It looks right out over Lake Geneva, and on the opposite shore is France:)

Here is one of the views from the castle.
I walked through a garden path right down to the lake shore. You can see France from this view! All you have to do is buy a ferry ticket and you can sail right over there! Mabye I'll do that next week.

Look how pretty the water is!
This bench is right next to the dock. I sat here and wrote a poem, it was heavenly. Except for the gang of tween boys that came over and ate their lunch loudly next to me and completely threw off my groove. It's ok, I still mostly finished my poem:)
Here is another one of those public water fountains that is completely safe to drink out of.  



This is a house on the same street as where I'm living, I thought it was pretty:)
