Zurich Adventures

Train Station

Some clowns from a flower shop gave us roses...yes, clowns.
Climbing to the top of a sweet church...
To check out this view
They had these s.w.e.e.t. pots for the trees along the road that was some sort of art project that I of course, was obsessed with.
Walking around Zurich
Things that I sadly did not get a picture of:
-The Gay Pride festivities that were going on
-The inside of the churches and the amazing stained glass windows (cameras not allowed)
-The inside of the art museum because a lewd, crude and decidedly RUDE dude came up to me (after passing about five other museum workers) and told me that my bag was too big. The best way I can describe it was that this grown man was about to throw a hissy fit, yes, that's what I said. So I had to check it in, because I don't know, I could be hiding a bomb in there, or make off with a sculpture or something?
All in all, a great day.

Today I am

Having a long hair day.

I love long hair days.

one of bEsT and most [{interesting]} things

in this W.O.R.L.D is instant happiness. You know what I´m talking about. When something,

Anything.

Happens, and instantly makes you happier, brightens your day, makes you pause and leaves you smiling.
This little gem came to me during the office doldrums. I was laughing out loud, and am now going to watch it for the third time.

ch-ch-check it out.

The reason for the green finally came, on my eleventh day here. And when it rains it POURS! I arrived at the grocery store about 2 seconds before the downpour started...

Angry skies

I knew it was bad when all the Swiss people who supposedly experience this all the time were staring, open mouthed at the sky...
Waiting for the bus...slightly wet.
Finally home! (With my celery)
I survived my first doozy of a rainstorm here...
and let me tell you it smells
l.u.s.c.i.o.u.s.

So at church on Sunday,

The girl missionaries come up to me. I think they like me because I speak English.
One says, "Do you like to sing?" I say,
"No."
(This is true.)
"You should totally come and sing with us! We're singing at a fireside in a few weeks, we're practicing this week, and its in English!"
I am appreciating the fact that they are trying to include me, really, I am.
But then...

"Come on, there will be some really cute guy missionaries there!"

SERIOUSLY?
Hahahahahahaha.

Dear Running,

I was so happy to be seeing you again for the first time in so long...I could hardly breathe! You make me see stars, and you turn my world upside down - I could have sworn the flat surfaces were hills. I will never forget our hot, sweaty rendevous. I took a good long look at myself, sorted through my priorities, and I will always make time for you.
XOXO
Love, Me

AcCompLishMentS.

These past two days I have done quite a lot to be proud of. Seriously.

I successfully purchased my own lunch, treat and toilet paper (that was for the office).
I successfully purchased my P.O.O.L..P.A.S.S. which is positively thrilling.
I successfully have been to the pool twice which is even more thrilling.
I successfully walked home and didn't get lost.
I successfully kept all my phalangees when Moose came to greet me today.
I successfully ate a great "fitness plate", a salad with bunches of veggies and meat surrounding it (apparently they are all the rage in Switzerland).
I successfully ate this on a mountain restaurant with a fantastic view.
I successfully have thoroughly enjoyed these past two days.

I'm so successful.
