After sleep catches up...
So I did eventually arrive in Switzerland. After 18 hours of planes and planes and another plane. I did however, once again, almost fuck it up. This year I made it through ticketing, through security, to the gate, and then fell asleep. Luckily another friendly traveler woke me at final boarding to ask if that was in fact my flight I was about to miss. It was, I woke up and then began the long journey.
Only one thought from that ordeal, if asked if you want chicken, or vegetarian indian food, say indian.. the chicken is shitty. Oh one more thought, if you fly overseas, don't even hope for a good movie. I saw a movie about an inner city foster kid learning to dance with art school douches and an animated movie about talking cows then I finally managed to fall asleep to cirque du soleil.. wtf thinks acrobatics makes for a fun plane ride? and why show a kid's movie that has no appeal to anyone else at 2am? seriously.. also.. ALL COWS ARE FEMALE.. don't pretend some are male.. bulls are male.. they even had a bull at the end, so they know bulls exist. wtf.
So then I made it to Zurich, in and through customs quickly. When I arrived at my parent's apt, we set up the room I am now sleeping in. Not right now, I sleep there later. Then we wandered down to the rhine, and downtown Basel, saw my mother's horse in the village where they are moving to. At which point I became comatose. Not sleeping eventually catches up with you.
Today I woke up being fairly allergic to my parents' cat, then we walked around and this time I remembered to bring my camera. After this, we drove to Kayserburg which is a village that looks like it's from a disney movie, but it's a real village. I think. The coolest part of this was really the drive through part of France. There's some windy roads. No, really windy. I doubt you can imagine the actual windiness of these roads.. take four steps forward, then turn 89 degrees then 8 steps the -87 degrees.. see? like that.. and there was ice. the views were amazing.
After we got back, I went for beers with friends of Craig's that my mother introduced me to. It was nice to talk to someone other than my parents, and have a beer outside of this room.
Ok, it doesn't sound wicked-awesome yet, but hey.. I'm in switzerland and you aren't.. so take what I give you AND LOVE IT.
Tomorrow Milan, although I haven't been able to find out where to buy fabric there yet, I may just settle for very expensive clothes instead (sorry Margot, I know you're disappointed).
