I have finally started my new job, and have been here about 2 weeks. The family has done everything possible to make me feel comfortable, and we've even taken a trip to Ikea for a few things for my room. I went to the language school but they don't know when the next class will start, so I signed up, and until then, the family said they would help me with my French.
Alix, the little girl, has been a breeze to work with after spending over a month with 2 loud, energy filled boys. The only problem I have encountered is Alix testing me to see how much she can get away with, but once she knows I won't be a pushover, I think things will be easier.
Here is a picture of Alix on our first day alone together:
Since I have been in Bern, I have started meeting other people. The other day, Patti, a new friend and I went to the Rosengarten. The Rosengarten is a large park with a section full of all different kinds of roses, a large grass area complete with tables and chairs, a large fountain, and a nice restaurant over looking Bern. Patti and I ate lunch at the park, and walked around the park and took pictures.
Here are a few pictures of the Park, and of the view of Bern:
After Patti and I left the park, Patti had a craving for Ben and Jerry's Ice cream. I knew of an ice cream stand on one of the side streets of Bern, but on our way there, a small shop had a large Ben and Jerry's sign in the window. Although it was a bit expensive, we didn't care!
Nothing much else has happened, but I will keep you updated!
And I know the text is all different sizes, thats not my fault, Blogger is being stupid and it won't change!!! I'm very mad at it!!!
