Jennifer Visits Basel

It is always so nice to see familiar faces in Switzerland.
Each year we look forward to welcoming friends and family to our new home!
Two weekends ago, my friend Jennifer stopped over in Switzerland for the weekend after spending sometime in touring Italy.

Fall in Switzerland

There is something really magical about the fall.
The crisp, fresh air, and the array of amazing colors.
We love living in parts of the world that experience a true autumn and we try to get outside as much as possible! St. Jakob's Botanical Gardens
