I had a lot of school today, so Momma got to know more of Fribourg on her own. It’s so wonderful having a mother come visit! They buy you the practical things that would be very nice to have but that you probably wouldn’t buy for yourself – a kettle/water boiler, warm socks, a Halloween/Thanksgiving pumpkin… Momma also discovered a local produce market in the heart of town – she got us beautiful raspberries, brioches, cheese, and bread. When I got out of class, we took a short train to Murten (or Morat in French). It’s only 18 km from Fribourg, but on a beautiful lake. It was bitterly cold today so we strolled for a little while and then ducked into a tearoom. Momma got a thé menthe vert (mint tea) and I got a melody of sweet fruits: fruit de passion, cassis, fraise, framboise… We had wine, cheese, a baguette, raspberries, and caramel wafer cookies for dinner back in Fribourg J After dinner, Momma and I met Myriam, her boyfriend (in town from Germany), Kim, and Anne-Pauline for drinks at Mondial. I am SO glad Momma got to meet them!
