Elisa and I had been having hard times before, but we feel like this week was the start of a much better Switzerland.  Elisa has started German lessons now.  She goes for four hours a day every weekday.  She is already conversing with Swiss friends.  (Really!)  At a very elementary level.  I like sitting with her at night when it’s time to study.

I got to go on a ski outing to Laax with my coworkers on Friday.  They are really nice and I wouldn’t have known so much about them without doing something outside.  Google has been a good place to work in spite of all the trouble we had at first.

We are almost entirely out of boxes.  We spent the majority of Saturday assembling a wardrobe to replace our closet back home.  It is so nice to have a place to put things.
