Last Day in Switzerland

Yesterday (Tuesday) we went to some old Roman theatre ruins in Avanches. I would have loved to do a family session here! The possibilities were endless for groupings with all the different levels of stone and grass.

After that, we went to Morat, an old city that still has part of its medieval wall in tact. This was exactly what I'd pictured when I thought of what Europe would be like be. Buildings here are hundreds of years old, and the place itself looks like a fortress. I told everyone in my group that I was done taking photos, but after we arrived, I couldn't help myself. Every time I turned around, there was another beautiful scene that I had to shoot.

Below is the outside of the wall. It looks like a castle! (I'm still not giving up on the idea of shooting a Scottish wedding and touring some of those old castles....)

There are several old rickety staircases that lead to the top of the interior wall. This one was built to connect with the church in the village. You could see the interior of the church from this window.

On top of the wall you could see the whole village. This made me want to sing "Chim chim Cheerie" from Mary Poppins!


Lastly, inside the village center:

Today we are packing and relaxing. We said several goodbyes yesterday, and I wasn't expecting that to be so difficult. I don't know if I'll ever see some of these people again, and I feel like this whole experience has bonded us together permanently. We talk of coming back, and of them visiting us, and I just pray that someday either of those possibilities will come about. I love everyone from my new Swiss Family, and I will miss you after I go home. God bless you all!!

With all fondness,
Kris.
