February was a blur...

It has been a few weeks since we have posted a blog, and therefore, we have lots to write about. The month of February was basically a blur do to the fact that I was working so much.

Anyway, so the last time we wrote a blog was about our adventures in Chamonix, France, which was a trip we took at the beginning of January. Since then, we have had nice weekends with friends and with each other. For Valentines Day weekend, I took Aggie to the Opera here in Zurich. We met up with our friends, Hannah and Andy, there as well.


The whole opera experience was really cool and we enjoyed ourselves. Plus, it's a fancy event so we got to dress up. The Opera was in Italian (which was beautiful) with German subtitles above the stage. We did know what was going on though as we had researched our show prior to going (thanks, Wikipedia). Obviously, that was key! After the show, we went for a few drinks at a local bar Andy knew of. It was a great evening and fun event!

Then, on Saturday, the 14th, we hung out together most of the day, and then we met up with our friends, John, Helen, Yulia and Vlad. We went ice skating and then to dinner. It was a fun time and of course, I fell a few times on the ice! My saving grace though were the big polar bears you can use to help you balance and skate. These are really for children, but I like to think of myself as a big kid at heart, so it was okay.

There was also a hockey game going on in the other rink, which was entertaining to watch. We would skate around a bit, watch the game, skate, fall, skate, watch the game, etc.

The following weekend we went to dinner at my co-worker's apartment. Jyotsna and her husband, Dave, are from northern India and made some of the best Indian cuisine we have ever had. They had recently gotten married in India and brought back tons of spices and food from their hometown. Our other friends, Helen and Danielle, came too. It was a fun evening of eating, chatting and catching up.

I got to ski a few days here and there this past month as well. The weather in the mountains wasn't that great in February though, so now I'm trying to make up for it and ski a ton in March. Skiing can be such a hit or miss.

The work weeks came and went. They mostly "came" as it was crunch time and I was logging in tons of hours. Finally, we signed off on all our work on March 6th. It was time to celebrate and relax (at least for a few days...).

Two weekends ago (March 6-8th) was a good weekend to celebrate. I went to Gstaad with John, Helen and our buddy, Loren, to ski. Aggie went to Poland with our friend, Danielle. We both had great trips and it was fantastic catching up and telling each other about our trips on Sunday evening. Our next blog will be about our different weekend adventures. This weekend (March 14-15th) I've been skiing it up in Davos (on EY's tab)!
