Das Alps, jah?

We ventured yesterday by train, ferry, train again, giant up-hill hike to the top of the planet, and finally, ariel car to the top of mount rigi in the luzern neck of the woods. Supposedly there were some alps involved but mostly we saw a lot of fog. The lake was like glass and soooo green - like the Caribbean, and the fog on the mountains was tres Jurassic park - esque. It was probably the most beautiful nature-like thing i've ever seen.










Caroline and I met her friend (from - i won't tell you where) Sebastian in Zurich the other night for a few drinks. Apparently, Portugal had just beaten Turkey in the Euro2008 match in Bern (maybe?) and there were lots of crazy drunk Portuguese men out on the street causing a scene - it was pretty much hilarious. Sebastian had lived and studied in America and had that very "indie kid from brooklyn" way about him - so that made it feel like home a little. He came complete with mean jokes about New Jersey. great.

okay it's finally nice out so....we're off to the grocery store! or should i say, survivor migros. Last week we found out that the roof of the migros has a buffet and a patio and a play ground for the kids - so obviously this has become my new favorite place. If only they served liquor...
