Countryside Life in Switzerland

 This week was a lot slower than the past few have been. I spent a lot of time with my host family in the gardens and outside on their farm. The peas were just getting ripe, so we picked a lot of those. We also harvested some potatoes and broccoli. Most of the things we've eaten this week have been fresh out of the garden, and I really enjoy that.

Foraging for mushrooms in the forest right up the hill from the house. These are called eierschwumm, in English, chanterelle
