Staff and students at YWAM Lausanne took part in a cultural experience at the end of our first official week together. First there was a yodeling contest; the five participants managed variations of a feeble warble. Then we played "Swiss games"; we'd had practice at some of these in our years at LCA. A tug-of-war, throwing huge irregular boulders (more difficult than it appears), and a wheelbarrow race. Much to Terry's disappointment, this half of the wheelbarrow collapsed on the way to the finish line. (Actually, he later said he wasn't disappointed at all)
The beautiful, sunny afternoon held for us to be able to have our cheese fondue outside on the patio.
Even though the melted cheese was a prepared mix, it tasted better than the one we had used in our French classes. I think the addition of garlic cloves made the difference. Note the little chocolate bars covering the table. We also had a flan type dessert, with plums or apricots, more custardy than the kolace we had in the Czech Republic. Delicious!
Our evening finished with a short lecture on the history of Switzerland, with an emphasis on its Christian heritage. A delightful evening.
