spring break pt.2: zürich! (day 4)

i started my last day off by going to church with my uncle, where he was running the audioboard and stuff.
it was pretty cool, except that it was all in german. surprisingly, though, i was able to understand at least part of what the pastor was talking about! it was nice. :)

cute.

our church needs to be like this

lunch at their house afterwards was delicious, as always. they're such great people, and so nice. they were overly hospitable, and i am forever grateful for their generosity. they made my trip pretty unforgettable.

my uncle drove me to the train station a while after lunch, and then i took the train into the city, where i transferred to my train back to Paris.
my ticket this time was first class, which was really nice! i had my own seat, and i had a functioning power cable! so, i was able to use my laptop while traveling. i felt very business-like. except that i wasn't working on anything worthwhile, haha...just photos.
i also got dinner on the train as well, which was pretty delicious. in conclusion, it was a great trip. but i'm happy to be back in the city that i love.

woohoo!

some free...juice?

the same laptop as mine!

dinner, yum

the train steward.

bored. cool photo, no?

it was wonderful seeing this sign at the end of the trip.

- glad to be back where my heart is

spring break pt.2: zürich! (day 3)

i started off the day with a "light" (according to my mountain-biking uncle) bike ride in the mountains...about half an hour away from their house. it was really wonderful, except for the fact that i felt like i was going to have a heart attack by the time we reached the summit, which was a really cool lake.
once we were there, we biked around it, and stopped in at a restaurant for a hot drink.
coming back down wasn't as difficult, thankfully. i'm also glad that it was cold and slightly rainy...it would've been terrible if it had been hot outside.

then, my uncle took me up another mountain with the car, which was very frightening...but worth it! there are some beautiful views from the cliffs up there!

later in the evening, i went to Alpamare...which is the largest indoor waterpark in all of europe, apparently? i didn't think it was that huge...but it WAS fun. there are some pretty great slides in there. all in all, a very exciting day!

this was actually not bad.

- thoroughly fatigued, but happy
