Traveling Catch-Up : Our First Trip to Switzerland and a Weekend in Italy

We have quite a bit of catch-up to do with this blog since we've been busy with a combination of settling in and traveling around and haven't had much time to write about either one!

We arrived here in Leuven back in June, shortly before the feast of Pentecost, and right away we booked our tickets from Brussels to Basel, Switzerland so that we could be together with friends to celebrate the feast. Less than two weeks after arriving in Belgium we were ready to move on to our second European country of 2013.

Robert is no stranger to Switzerland, having spent time a couple summers doing research near Basel. There he became good friends with a Greek family at the same church where we also have a few expat friends who are parishioners. It's a small world! We were all very happy to celebrate Pentecost together. 






We didn't really take any photos on this trip, unfortunately...but fear not, there will be lots of Switzerland pics coming soon when we post about our second trip to Switzerland. Stay tuned for splendid views of the Alps!
