[2012-2014] Construction Zone Park Basel, Switzerland

We have gone to this little park behind our house countless times to catch up with the Rawsons. You can always count on them being there on a Sunday afternoon, and we'd usually just walk over without calling to catch them for some family time. It's actually the perfect setting for a mini photoshoot, so we usually took our camera with us. It is probably one of the coolest little parks I've ever seen. An amazing (but dangerous) jungle gym, ropes course, climbing wall and slide. It looks like an abandoned house that they converted into a park. It's amazing to see how much Roran has grown.

The imminent departure of the Rawson's makes Hayes and I start to realize how much like family these guys have become.

We will miss them so much! What will we now do on a lazy Sunday afternoon? Let alone the fact that we will need to move our GoT viewings to another place and I'm losing my co-organizer for TEDx and Amazing race. Big Sigh.

Update -- Said our "goodbyes/see you laters" today and I held it altogether, until the moment they left. It took a good 20 minutes of weeping to feel alright again. T.T

Love you all!!! xoxo Can't wait till we meet again.

[2013] Christmas in Basel

Christmas Markets never get old. A warm glass of gluhwein is a great excuse for a weekday stroll. Basel Markets may not be as nice as the ones in Salzburg and the Wolfgangsee area, but I'm still so lucky to be able to enjoy them here. The lights make the chill so much more bearable.

Hayes opted for a gluhbier, but regretted his choice. He won't make that mistake again...

Christmas is fun for me too because I get to write Christmas cards! I love stationary, and I usually buy my cards during the sale after Christmas, that means I've waited nearly a whole year before writing in them. Yes, I'm a nerd...but I can't deny that it makes me happy.
