La Suisse- weekend in Lausanne!

This weekend I got to travel to Switzerland.  Pepperdine has a house in Lausanne, Switzerland which is an hour train ride from Geneva just around the lake.  It was so pretty and we had fantastic weather.  I came with one of my heaviest coats and gloves and ended up walking around town in a t-shirt. I got to meet a lot of the Pepperdine students studying in Lausanne and they were all really nice.  On Saturday we went to a quaint little Swiss town with an old castle and had lunch on a cute cobble stone street.  The view was amazing.  You could see the mountains topped in snow but it was still so warm outside.  After that we took a train to another small town where there is a chocolate factory called Callier.  Apparently it is the Swiss version of Nestle.  We were going to take a tour but there were too many people and the cut the line off just before us, so instead we went to the chocolate shop and bought chocolate.  I got a caramel chocolate that was delicious.  It was a really nice weekend to just hang out in the beautiful city of Lausanne.  We didn't do a lot but just being there was enough.  Even the train between the airport and the house was stunning.  It was a much needed relaxing weekend to say the least.
