Our Chalet--the time is NOW!

Sorry, it's been a few days since I have written--I'll catch everyone up.

After I landed last Thursday I just basically hung around my room for a bit, and then decided to find lunch.
At lunch, I successfully ordered a delicious pasta dish and...
MY FIRST LEGAL GLASS OF WINE!
Ok, it was exciting--get over it.
I then explored the little town I was in,
and that evening took a train into Zurich and explored there and stopped for dinner.
Boring, I know.

Friday, I awoke at a decent hour and hopped the train to Zurich and visited the Swiss National Museum.
Truly, not that exciting.
Not a lot of griping history--
or maybe there is and my German skills just weren't good enough yet.
However, there was a slide in the museum, clearly marked "for children only"
but, I'm the size of a kid and ya know, YOLO.
(OMG My brother will kill me for saying that...)
That evening I had a wonderful meal of rosti with bacon and cheese--seriously my new favorite meal.

Saturday, I had planned to go to the zoo, but once I awoke, it was a DOWNPOUR.
So I rode the train into Zurich and explored the train station, ventured to H&M and Starbucks.
At one store, I was buying a pair of pants and the lady and I were speaking in German.
She told me she was from Kansas City, USA.
She almost cried when I asked back, in English, "Kansas or Missouri?"
For anyone who is wondering, she's from Missouri.

Sunday, I woke up, packed my bag and said goodbye to Zurich as I went back to the airport to meet up with Cate, from Colorado/Iowa, and Heather, from Canada.
Once we were all together we adventured the train system of Switzerland and successfully made it to Adelboden.
To say I was happy to be back at Our Chalet was an understatement, I am thrilled to call this place home for three months.

Miss everyone back home though!!

This is my home.
