Soak up the Sun

Last weekend, the weather in Lausanne was perfect. That's right- 75 degrees, brilliantly sunny, hint of a breeze perfect. Although I really needed to make head way on my monstrosity of a To-Do list, it just didn't seem right to spend such a perfect weekend inside. So I didn't.
I went on a long run and took a stroll by the lake. I bought an ice cream cone and relaxed at a friend's birthday party. I went on a hike in the beautiful Gruyere hills.
And you know what? It was worth it. Even though my To-Do list was glaring at me Monday morning, and even though I've been working 12-hour days, sometimes you just need a relaxing weekend to soak up the sun.

warm weather = ice cream season. 
some sort of rowing regatta off vidy beach. i was really surprised at just
how fast they could move!

hike in the gruyere region. in addition to producing the most fantastic
cheese in the world, the region is also perfect for a springtime hike!
lovely view of lac leman
