I was awoken the second day in Switzerland at 8:30 by Schyler charging into my room intent on attacking me. We went for a walk after a breakfast of bread and cheese. So far the most surprising thing about Switzerland has been it's similarities to the U.S.
After the walk we drove into Luzern (loosern). It's a very touristy town.
Thank goodness Tallis was wearing a black shirt. I didn't feel completely out of place in my blue.
Some cool house tattoos.
And the security system on one of the fancy clothing shops in Luzern. I took this picture while we were waiting for Schyler and Tallis to get out of the Mammut shop. And then they were taking forever so we went in to get them... and they probably left the shop while we were downstairs looking for them... and so we circled blocks until we eventually found them again. It demonstrates an important principle I've noticed over here. Separated groups will lose each other.
We finished up our day trip by climbing up higher in Luzern and taking pictures. There was a cool castle wall with old watch towers that we climbed through and along. Then we headed back and tried to figure out how to get back into the underground parking lot we came out of.
Dinner that night was fondu which was really good. The Swiss ate a lot more than the Americans (all except Schyler). Lydia was there for dinner again and her friend (I can't remember her name though...) Then after dinner we sat in the living room and a whole bunch of Swiss friends came over (and I can't remember their names either). Lots of laughing and butchering of Swiss-German words (the Swiss can't believe we only know one language... they also think that and school after high school is ridiculous). Strawberry whoop'd cream desert. Sleep much later.
And I was awokened by the goats again...
Which is cool...
Hi Wesley, We love reading about your adventures and seeing your photos (do you like your new camera?). Your father is heading to CA tomorrow and I'll leave for Boise with the girls on Thurs. I think Christian has asked Forrest to move in with him while we're gone (along with Sterling!). Take care and thanks for keeping us posted about what you're up to! Love you, Mom
