Disney World 2010

What do eight year old girls do when they're waiting for their dads in Florida? Go to Disney world of course! That's just what I did. We arrived early in Florida, so instead of seeing everything else (sorry mom), we (mom and I) went to Disney world. We went on the buzz lightyear ride where you have to shoot stuff with a "lazer" gun. Then we stood in line for the roller coaster, but it had technical difficulties, so we wasted like, half an hour waiting in line. So, yeah, we went on various rides and like, passed the time until it was parade time! We watched the parade and ate churos and cotton candy. After that we watched the fireworks, went to the hotel and went on rides and saw the parade and the fireworks again the next day!

Starting off 2010

So much has happened since 2009 that I don't know where to start. In 2010 I went to america to see people (like cousins and Lola) with mom, then dad came and we went to Florida to start the Disney cruise line. I guess I'll start with Florida Disney world on Disney world 2010.

Grenoble, France August 16, 2009

Grenoble was a city we would have wanted to explore more than a day. When we walked around, there were markets in the square and people were just so friendly. You would see them talking and hugging while they shop while the husbands of shopping wives look on and wait to carry bags and packages. What a wonderful relaxed life to walk around and see your friends around town. The funicular was a fun ride up the mountain with a great view of the city. The hotels were less expensive than in Geneva and a much nicer city to walk around in. You have the lake in Geneva but you have the mountains of rocks around Grenoble. Spectacular drive in the evening as theyhave some mountain faces lit up at night.

Exploring Switzerland
















We drove from Pompaples to Geneva but we liked Lausanne better than Geneva. We tried to stay at a hotel in Geneva but it didn't feel as safe as when we were in Zurich or Lausanne so we headed out of Switzerland to Grenoble, France.

Pompaples - Home of My Ancestors




We got to go where the Bonzons are from - Pompaples. My great, great, great grandfather came from here. We got to meet Francois Bonzon from Pompaples. It is a quiet farming town and Francois told us that the biggest clan is still the Bonzon clan.

Birthday week with Anita and Beat in Zurich
















It was so nice to be home with Anita and Beat for my Birthday. Zurich is a home away from home. We went to the children's park, to the lake and around town. I love feeding the birds by the lake but the big swans were a bit aggressive. Hope to see Beat and Anita again next year.

Rothenburg ob der Tauber - August 10, 2009
















Feeling Christmas in August. We loved going around here. So many charming shops and buildings. It is a huge medieval town and some parts are car free so you don't have to worry about walking around. This is the town that inspired the setting for the Disney animated movie "Pinocchio" and also the Japanese Anime, "Sugar a little snow fairy" and "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang". I also started to read, "Princess Bride" which I could not put down. Now I have to watch the movie. Walking around you'll see a lot of shops with toys, miniture houses, crafts, etc.. I even enjoyed freshly squeezed apple juice while resting in one of the many alleys you can go down on.
