Just landed in Swissland
I left Calgary on Saturday morning with Nicole, and after a 5 hour layover in Toronto and a long flight to Zurich, here we are in Wollerau! I was exhausted during the long car ride from the airport to here, but after a shower and a beer I feel very refreshed. I really love Sonya and Thomas' cute apartment, which is right next to an old church that rings its bells every hour. On the drive here we saw such lovely green hills scattered with flowers and goats. I can't wait to take a walk down to the lake and take in more scenery. I love being in a house where there are no screens on the windows and where we hear birds chirping in the distance. Switzerland makes me feel like I'm in a Disney fairytale, and at any moment those birds might come land on my shoulder to sing me a song, while the goats come frolicking down the hillside to greet me.

I am so jealous, Leah. I look forward to following your posts. I love Switzerland, too. Some day I might actually live there. I love the goats, cows and sheep in the fields as well. I also love the chocolate! Enjoy some for me.

Hi there, Leah,
ReplyDeleteWell, I am very glad you made it safely to Der Schweitz. I love Switzerland - especially Wengen where Dave and I spent a few days after Beauvais. There are no cars, only a cable car and lots of hiking trails. Some Japanese tourists took his photo with a St. Bernard, assuming he was a young Swiss lad as he was walking near the train down the mountain. Think of us if you visit Wengen which is where I bought the clock that also rings (every half hour) in Grandpa's condo. I have to turn it off so it does not wake me up there.
I did not know that Aunt Cathie plans to settle there someday. I wonder if Uncle Glenn knows of her plans?
Thanks for making the huge effort to come to Ohio just before your Switzerland trip. You are amazing.
love,
Aunt Cheryl
