I finally got it to upload, and the quality is much better on the blog :)

SWITZERLAND: THINGS I WILL MISS

1. Summer - the best time of the year in Geneva - with all the beautiful flowers in bloom, soft green grass, amazing views of both the Jura and the Alps, sitting at outdoor cafes until 1 am, BBQs and picnics with my friends, bike rides along the lake, boat rides to Yvoire, Fête de Genève...
2. One of the best things about being in Geneva: the proximity to France and Italy!
   
3. Going to the Divonne market in France, and filling up on those YUMMY almond croissants that I dream about and drool over until I get one!
4. Raclette and Fondue....I never realized how much I love cheese until I moved here.
5. Speaking French with native French speakers :)
6. The view from my room - St. Pierre cathedral in the Old Town, with the Jura mountains in the background.
7. Fresh bread from the boulangerie.
8. My free Starbucks drinks, courtesy of my old colleagues from my days at the 'Bux'.
9. Seeing the Swiss flag everywhere - I don't know why, but I love it!
10. Swiss punctuality - if the bus leaves at 3:43, it's leaving at 3:43!!
11. Swiss chocolate :) My favorite: Lindt chocolat au menthe, et a la framboise
12. The feeling that I know so many people in this 'small town'.
    
13. Going to any cafe with friends and chatting over some nice wine.
    
14. Being in any part of Geneva and hearing at least 3 or 4 different conversations in different languages.
15. Westlake church, even though I didn't go much after I moved out of the Nyon area.
16. Chalet Martin hostel in Gryon.
17. Cheap Evian water!
18. The quaint little villages, with flowers hanging off all the window sills, flowing fountains that you can drink from, and the sound of cow bells in the distance.
19. European fashion :)
20. The option of being able to go to London, Paris, Rome, or Munich for a weekend, for less than $100.
21. Walking everywhere!
22. La Romana ~ my favorite Italian restaurant in Geneva ~ LOVE the Tagliatelle a l'amatriciana and the Tiramisu!
23. The slower pace of life. Well, I don't always appreciate that! But for the most part, I love it :)
24. The healthy, and environmentally-friendly, mentality.
25. Of course, seeing all my awesome friends and families whenever I want! You all have filled my heart over the past 7 years, and it will be difficult to not see you and talk to you when I want. I will be back to visit....no doubt about that! And you are all welcome to come visit and stay with me in Boston :)

Je vous souhaites beaucoup de bonheur dans vos vies. Je suis toujours là pour vous, même si je suis loin. Je vous aimes, et je garderai toujours une place pour vous dans mon coeur :)

Et maintenant, comme l'Euro est plus important que mon départ!, un peu de patriotisme pour mon deuxième pays: HOP SUISSE!!! (Même s'il n'avance pas!)
