It had snowed all Friday, so that evening Elise and I built snowmen and made ourselves a fort that we played hide and seek it this morning!
Today I had a get-together with the other exchange students from suisse romande! We met in Fribourg and then took the bus to le Lac Noir to see the ice attractions there. There were castles, fountains, a giant swing, a life sized pirate ship, Christmas lights everywhere, and even a flock of penguins!
After everyone was chilled to the bone, we went inside a little hut and gathered around the fire to celebrate Leo's 19th birthday! Everyone sang "happy birthday" for him in their native language. There were candles, lemon cake, gummy worms, cookies, ice tea, cola, and lots of laughter!
On the way home as I waited at the train station in Fribourg, I saw all the little children dressed in costumes coming into the city to celebrate carnival. They were too cute!
