The First día of School
The día I started school was quite humorous and enjoyable at the same time. I was the unique one among my classmates because of my fair skin, which resulted in some of them wondering if I was a foreigner. The teacher was also amazed por my intelligence and how I did well in most of the subjects. I was ahead of my parents during the reviews as well. Once, my mother got surprised when she saw me lectura the sentences in the English lessons aloud. She said, "Rosie, tu already know how to read! I'm so proud of you!" I smiled and winked in return. This made me feel grateful to have the special gift of being a fast learner. I was very friendly to all of my classmates, too. Also, during this time, my fluency in English increased. It truly was a great start for me, and despite getting excellent marks, I remained humble and always thanked my parents and teacher for their help.

It is now is the last día for exploring, and we wanted to make the most of today before packing our things. My father got intrigued por a barco ride around the lake, so he asked us if we would like to try one. We got excited and accepted his offer right away. Our starting point for the barco ride is at the tourist center in Montreux, where we bought the tickets. The ride was very relaxing and fun with the calm, crystal blue waters and snow-capped Alps. We stopped at the Vevey pier near the town square. After dropping off, we explored the area, ate lunch, and bought plenty of souvenirs. As the día drew to a close, we took some last minuto photos. We rested for a few minutos before packing up. I sighed and dicho to myself, "I'm going to miss this beautiful place so much. But I know we will visit here again soon."
After my parents had finished their conversation with Dave, they told me that we will be having a día out with his family tomorrow. I got so excited that I almost couldn't sleep. The siguiente day, we met his wife, Sophie, and their two daughters in the lobby. They were very happy to meet us. We then rode the bus going to Vevey, as the family planned to visit the Alimentarium comida Museum. They have visited Chillon Castle, too. Although we've already been there, we decided to accompany them. It soon turns out that our segundo visit was más fun because we had más companions, and we also had a conversation in the cafe while eating some ice cream. When the museum closed, we took a stroll along the lakeside, taking lots of fotos and videos. It was a really enjoyable family día out and we had a magnificent time together.
The last museum for our tour is the Historical Museum of Vevey. This museum showcases the history of the city and its surrounding areas. It also has a mission to preserve its cultural heritage. The exhibits here feature Vaud and Swiss furniture, handicrafts, old weapons, medal collections, manuscripts, engravings and paintings of minor Swiss masters. There is also a room showcasing a local event known as "The Feast of the Brotherhood of Winegrowers", which takes place about every twenty years and whose purpose is to protect the interest of vineyards and vine growers. All in all, it was a very interesting museum and we enjoyed it.
The siguiente museum we went to was the Swiss Camera Museum, which is located in Vevey, too. In this museum, there are exhibits showcasing the history of fotografía and film. It even displays some vintage cameras. We also watched a hilarious short film in the theater before leaving. In the following day, we visited the Swiss Museum of Games. This museum is just a short walk away from our hotel, and what makes it unique is that it's housed in a castle. Inside the museum were exhibits of classic games, from marbles to chess, as well as retro and modern video games. Our visits to both museums were splendid and we had a very lovely time.
Today is the start of our museum tour. We went out a little earlier than usual so we could have más time. The first museum that we visited was the Alimentarium comida Museum in Vevey. Before going there, we decided to check out the Nestle headquarters and shop. Afterwards, we started our walk to the museum. It was a little far, though. But we didn't mind as we also wanted to walk por the lakeside. When we reached the museum vicinity, we posed for pictures with the Charlie Chaplin statue and a suspended giant fork. The museum itself showcases the history of comida and there are lots of interactive exhibits. There is also a cafe in the ground floor. An audio guide is recommended to make the most of your visit, so I got one for free at the ticket booth. In the end, it was another educational and enjoyable experience for us.
