Highlights

It’s high time I include some more content on here besides that of my heightened emotions. Allow me to share with you a few highlights from the last few days. The first didn’t occur on my trip, but rather the night before I left at family dinner. Still, it deserves to be shared.

 

Family and I went to dinner the night before I left to celebrate Valentine’s Day and our undying love for one another. Courtdazzle found this little guy hiding under the table and I continued to manipulate him into various positions around the table. When we turned him into our waitress she confessed she thought he was ours and a part of some weird inside joke in our family. I wish.

There's a snake in my boots!

 

Coffee at La Stanza is touted to be the best in Zürich according to several international publications. I only knew it as a great place to find inexpensive beer and surround yourself with unpretentious folks. Before I left in December I made it here one morning before my au pair meeting. I went again last week. Confirmed. This is the best coffee. In. The. World.

It's all in the foam

 

This tune came on in the middle of my second cappuccino at La Stanza last Friday. Commence swooning.

 

Yesterday Adam and I went to Maison Blunt for brunch (wait, doesn’t everyone brunch at 2:30 p.m.?) and were treated to this amazing spread: five kinds of cheese, fruit salad, homemade jam, honey, and a giant bread basket. Don’t forget the coffees…

The full spread

 

Finally, whenever you a pick-me-up, distraction, or an idea for a new pet, I suggest watching this video. The number of views went up by almost two million since the first time I saw it earlier this week so I can’t be the only one thinking this is a great idea.
