Last Year's Firsts

I started a list of all of my "firsts" from last year, things I'd done that I hadn't done before and I'm going to keep it up for 2012 as we'll be doing some things that we've never done before (Sailing in Tuscany!) and more new exciting things.  

2011 Firsts:

First time to Rome

First time flying on a plane in Italy

First visit to Chamonix, FR

First Fondue Chinoise (on New Year's Eve)

First Cheese fondue cooked with champagne instead of white wine (In Chamonix)

First time eating Escargot (will not be a second time anytime soon...)

First time eating roasted chestnuts (interesting...and gross, at the same time.)

First Wedding Anniversary!!

First time making homemade hummus

First class in taught in Italian that wasn't meant to teach me Italian!

First owned pair of Italian handmade leather boots

First Driver's License from another country

First year using Linux/Ubuntu OS

First full year living in Switzerland!

What "first" things did anyone else do last year, and what do you intend to do this year?

Happy musing!
