switzerland here we come !!

finally in august it was time to visit family and friends in switzerland. james and jack from england accompanied rio and myself across the channel and france all the way to zurich. the entire trip went smooth and after a very noisy night near arras and some more driving we hit the highway in switzerland. next morning we went to have some sweets at the famous confiserie Sprüngli in the most expensive street of Züri. i think my proportions look a little funny on that picture . . . . . . maybe i was still crinkly from the recent trip back to my roots . . . .


i was accompanied by a bunch of wonderful men who were preparing their minds for the big evening of the street parade http://www.streetparade.ch/:


one of them, by coincidence my husband, finally found someone with the same clothing style:


the boys then went on to play with some toys. more specifically they "test-drove" two smart cars for an entire afternoon. it looks like they've had a lot of fun ! (thanks philou for not being on the picture ;-)) )


after all this hard work we some re-filled in my parent's new appartment. it was actually quite lovely and unexpected to spend some time with my brother eric, to elie's left (right in the picture).
