Skiing at Vichères with my host family!
The snow was perfect and there was hardly anyone on the slopes! The Swiss alps bordering the resort were gorgeous, and the drive took us on a tour of the beautiful canton of Valais! I had a wonderful time! Our last run was an easy catwalk through the snowy forest, and that could not have been more beautiful. Tabea and I raced back, and then we had a battle in the snow above the parking lot. We crawled up the snow drift and then rolled down so many times that we looked like snowmen when we finally got to the car. I told Max that I had done a black run and rolled all the way down, but he didn't believe me! I would have loved to have watched Switzerland go by my window on the drive home, but I was so worn out from the day that I could hardly keep my eyes open.
Lunchtime on the slopes with the Jaquier family!

Thank you Mom and Dad for the Valentine's Day box filled with all the wonderful treats! It gave me something to smile about the whole week, and to share with all my loved ones here!
I put together Valentine's day cards for everyone in my class and attached candies that my family sent from home. They were little frozen cards like children in elementary school give out, but I thought it would be fun to share some of that culture. My classmates thought they were adorable! After lunch, I saw that one boy had put his Elsa tattoo on his cheek. Valentine's Day is really just for lovers here, but maybe I can change that. What better excuse to remind friends and family that we love them too?
