On the Road

We boarded a big, nice bus and left about 8:45. Leaving Paris felt like home (lots of traffic). Once out of the city, the drive reminded me of Michigan--forest interspersed with farms and slightly rolling hills. Next we traveled through Bourgogne, known for its wine and mustard. Here the hills are much bigger and more undulating. We spent 1.5 hours in Beaune for lunch, shopping and exploring. This place was a quaint, cobble stoned streets, sidewalk cafes, French village.






We arrived at the Swiss village of Huttwil at Hotel Kleiner Printz at 7:30. Everyone was excited when we saw our rooms...such Swiss character! Some had suites, some had stone walls and wood ceilings and some even had lofts in their rooms! After a delicious dinner of soup, bread, noodles, chicken and chocolate pudding, a group took a stroll in the village with snow softly falling. We have hardly been here and already loving Switzerland. The photo below shows where we had dinner and also our EF tour guide, Raquel. She organizes everything for us on the trip.
