The rain from the weekend left and beautiful sunshine came today, Monday.  We had classes all morning, and then went back to the dorm to prep menu items for next week.  In the mean time, we stopped to take a photo at the village sign.  Although BFA is located in Kandern, we actually live in a smaller village 11 kilometers (6 miles) up in the foothills to the Alps.  Our village is called Marzell.  The sun was just right for a good photo.  Our dorm is barely visible in the background.

Here is a better shot of our dorm's West side, and in the background you can see the local church with the traditional bell tower.  It has an automatic bell-ringer, and every hour and half hour we get a "gong" or series of "gongs" to help keep track of the time.  And note the blue shutters on our dorm windows.....  Our dorm is called "Blauen" which means "Blue" in German.  More photos later this week.
