On Saturday, after Geneva time, we spent a couple of hours all together where we had music, lots of foods and laughter. Here are some pictures of the party:

 On Saturday 3 of our girls, Sofya, Julia and Hibiki, went to visit the Patek Philippe Museum.  

Here is what Sofya thought about her visit: “I was amazed by what I saw there! thank you so much ! incredibly beautiful 🙂“

What better way to spend a lovely Sunday afternoon than to take a stroll by the lake nearby?  Selena and Yulia paid a visit to the swans, who seemed quite hungry! 

Did you know…

• Swans are not greedy creatures and will only eat what they need (but mould is poisonous to them so if you  give them bread make sure it is fresh!)
• Swans can sleep standing on one leg or whilst floating, usually with their heads tucked back under a wing.
• Swans mate for life. If a mate is lost then the surviving mate will go through a grieving process like humans do, after which it will either stay where it is on its own, fly off and find a new stretch of water to live on.

I’m moving back to Brazil, leaving New Portena. My roomies gave me a box of chocolates and a card to say goodbye. Sweet, isn’t it?
