WOW. The last two days have been totally crazy! First of all, a little background info on me and my traveling, I have never been out of the country. So my little flight hopping began Sunday morning, me and Karlie Fitz (aka Stego)being dropped off by my wonderful parents at the SLC airport, hopping on a flight to DC, laying over there for 2-ish hours, and then boarding an 8.5 hour flight to Geneva.
Stego and Long Neck at the SLC Airport
Saturday night I ended up getting 2 hours of sleep and I didn't sleep on the plane at all...so naturally right now I'm quite tired (it is 9:45 here, and 1:45 at home...I was eating dinner when everyone back home was waking up haha). Anyways we land in Geneva, HELLO GORGEOUS. flew over Lake Geneva and then hung out in the airport while we activated our Swiss-passes and got money from the ATMs.
***SIDE NOTE***
Dear Mom, apparently American cash isn't too helpful out here. Didn't really know that, but the grocery store wouldn't accept the bills when I tried to buy some chocolate this afternoon. Just letting you know about that odd fact.
anyways. so we then proceed to take a bus to Leysin, about a 2 hour drive, where we stop at a rest stop. This was seriously an odd experience. The bathrooms. I wish i had taken a picture, but this sketch i think will suffice.
step one. stand one foot on each of the grey rectangles. step two. pants down. step three. grip handles and lean/squat down. step four. you can guess. SO WERID. they were totally built in to the floor of the stall-room thing, and to flush, you open the door so it can "see" the light. i guess it flushes through light-sensory? Anyways, it was totally crazy and a very odd new experience.
Switzerland actually reminds me a lot of Utah except the mountains are bigger and cooler looking, the farm lands are actually neat to the point of OCD, and there are lots of greeeen trees! love it. after getting to the hotel we took like a 4 mile hike up to this mountain
Sperry's in Swiss-Land <3
and around the town, to the grocery store etc. had spaghetti for lunch and tasty chicken, rice, and carrots for dinner. dessert for lunch was hazlenut pudding and dinner dessert was raspberry and chocolate sorbet. be jealous :) love you all, I'm astoundingly exhausted and there is lots to do tomorrow.
XOXOXOXO
Also we found this awesome Graffiti on the back of an old/new building. we really liked the Juxtaposition...yeah haha.
