It was Thanksgiving in Canada this past weekend, but Thanksgiving isn't a Holiday in Switzerland. Even though we didn't celebrate here, I have so much to be thankful for, every day! First of all, the weather has been PHENOMENAL here. I'm talking about sunny and 20-23 degrees Celsius. Every. Single. Day. It has been amazing for exploring all of the parks in our area of Bern! One of the areas the girls had fun visiting lately was the Bärengraben, or bear pit. There are 3 bears there, and they spend their days eating, sunbathing, and watching tourists. It's a free attraction that you can check out when you visit Bern!
Secondly, I'm thankful for predictability. The girls and I have had the same schedule every day: go grocery shopping, go to a park, eat lunch, nap, play outside or indoors some more, have dinner, and go to bed. Sound boring? Maybe to some. But the predictable and stable schedule is something that I've come to appreciate while living in our new home. The last 9 months have been crazy, sometimes chaotic, and just plain messy. I am so thankful for a stable home, where everything is in its place (at least, as much in its place as it can be with 2 toddlers...), and we are not living out of suitcases.
Finally, I'm thankful for family and friends, whether near or far. I dearly miss everyone back in Canada! I'm looking forward to the summer when we can catch up with many of you again. Until then, we have a few people who are booked in at Hotel Rennicks. One of our guests visited us a week ago! I had so much fun catching up with her and showing her around town. The girls loved having their tante Pascale spend some time with them! It also gave us an excuse to go back to the Gurten and ride the little train again. We also really lucked out with a restaurant we stumbled upon. It had some of the best views around! How rejuvenating to spend time with a dear friend!
Stay tuned for my next post, which will be coming very soon. I will be showing you around my local grocery store. Everyone loves a good grocery haul! If you have any food items you would like to see in the post, send me a message ☺️
