Cold, Snowy Switzerland

It's been frigidly cold since we arrived on Sunday. -3 Celcius upon arrival and every morning it's below 0 - between -1 and -5. As I write it's snowing. Small flakes gradually coming down with bursts of more rapid movement in between.

We've been working long hours and I've had no time to blog. But a quick post....

We love the coffee breaks during the day and coffee time after lunch. If you eat with a European in the canteen (cafeteria), at the end of the meal he/she will ask if you'd like to have a coffee. We bus our trays and walk over to the "cafe" side of the canteen, get a coffee and sit around small round tables. Because the Lindt chocolate factory is not far, eating Lindt truffle balls with your coffee is common (dark chocolate is a favorite). It's a wonderful way to relax, chat and digest before returning to the office.

I'm heading to Interlaken on Saturday to meet-up with a friend. It's a 2 hour train ride into the Alps. I'm looking forward to seeing another side of Switzerland. Too bad I don't ski!
