Visit from a fellow Techie (a little belated)

Back in September, we got an e-mail from our Tech friend, Ben. He was coming through Switzerland with a friend and wanted to see if we could coordinate a quick visit. Things worked out and he and Carolyn arrived in Fribourg at 11pm, came to our place where we ate and chatted until 2am. We then got up the next morning, had a grit casserole (a touch of home!), talked some more and got them back to the train station in time to catch the 11am train to Zurich. Though it was a quick trip, it was fun to see him and catch up a little. Carolyn and I discovered that she went to the same tiny, Christian college in Indiana as my cousins - she was surprised that I'd heard of it!


The four of us on our balcony. Looking at this picture makes me wonder if it will ever be green here again. The snow is great and beautiful, but can't compare with the lush green foliage of spring and summer.

Taking a touristy picture at the train station. We're in a hurry - that's their train pulling up to the right!

Did I tell you I met someone whose hometown is Fribourg?
