Santa Claus’s Day with Angi

When I came back from Honduras, there was already somebody waiting for me in Neuchâtel. Angi, on her way back from Kongo to the USA decided to make a stop in Switzerland to visit her friends…What a good idea! I was really happy to meet her a again after almost 2 years...As she was in Neuchâtel for 6^th of December, and as during her year in Neuchâtel, the 2 of us organized a lot of “soirées” and parties together I decided to invite all our common friends from the old good GBUN-times for a “Sanct Niclaus Evening” to our flat. We made “Grittibänze”, a traditional “manshaped” bred for Santa Claus Day, and we ate peanuts, oranges, sweets and chocolate fondue…It was really a bit like in former days, during one of our common soirées…

Before the party on Saturday evening we spent a really relaxing day. I needed it, as when I came back in Wednesday evening I immediately started working again on Thuersday, so had to get up very early…

So after a “grasse matinee” (sleeping until late) on Saturday we went to Yverdon-les-Bains, where we went to the thermal baths. They are not exactly as beautiful as the ones I have been to in Guatemala, but I really like the atmosphere of thermal baths in Europe when it is cold and wet outside and you can swim in this warm water…
