I. AM. IN. SWITZERLAND.
The adventure has begun.
I awoke at 4 am, Oklahoma time, got ready and headed to OKC airport.
Daddy and I made fun of every single driver on the road, because really, why was anyone else awake?
Flew from OKC to Dallas--your basic puddle jumper.
Up. Down. Done.
While at Dallas airport I concluded two things...
1) McDonalds in airports should really serve their full menu all day, because really all I wanted was french fries.
2) Airports shouldn't be playing the news when all it is talking about are terrorist attacks ON AIRPORTS. I'm sorry, that just doesn't help me fly...
Dallas to NYC was another perfectly simple flight--one I've done a million times.
Even though I knew I was heading to Switzerland, I never wanted to leave New York.
I seriously love that place.
There was awesome NY hipsters roaming all around,
Orthodox Jews, who I have always fancied, since I was younger.
I was clearly fascinated with other religions, because I was also excited to see two men take part in their Muslim prayers-- you just don't see all this in Oklahoma!
I never thought the flight from NYC to Zurich would end--I slept on and off, but it was never ending.
But finally WE LANDED and my adventure began...
It's probably one of the most nerve-wracking things to land ALONE in a foreign country--but I sucked it up and conquered my fears, because after all that's what this summer is about.
Thankfully my hotel allowed me to check in early and now I think I'll just lounge around until I go and find some lunch.
Also, their are small Swiss children playing outside of the hotel, and with my window open I can hear their joyful voices--and it reminds me why I do what I do--to change lives.
Weidersehen!
