Switzerland part 1

Since I am posting this as we are just a few days away from leaving Switzerland (wont mention our next destination here for safety reasons but will blog about it later on), I wont write a lot about these pics because I dont have much time left on this computer and I dont know when I will get computer access again. To my family and relatives most pictures make sense on their own because they will recognize the people and places. For the rest of you, I hope you will still enjoy looking at the lovely faces of my dear, most generous, funny, crazy, inspiring friends and relatives. 

One of the many coffee breaks at Christa's

Viva la Musica 

International Orchid Show







Visiting Herbert's family. We got to stay in their garden hut, furnished with a great little wood stove which kept us warm over Easter. Unfortunately it rained for most of the time we were there so I was not very inpired to take photos around the garden. I now really regret this but those who know Herbert's garden know what it looks like anyways and those of you who dont, well this is not its best time of year anyways. 

We had fun times with the whole family, picked Wild Garlic in the woods with cousin John, relaxed on the couch with a book and went shopping with Brigitta.

 Quick stroll through downtown Zurich



 My super cool goofy friends. They put a bunch of those springy frogs on the breakfast table and of course things got quite out of hand...on purpose! Mmmmm frog coffee!

 RAHEL, CHRISTOPH UND MAJA, ISCH SO TOLL GSI OI ZGSEH! DANKE FUER DE LUSCHTIG ZMORGE!!!!!


In grade 9 I painted a Swiss train engine for my Dad from a picture I found in a Swiss train magazine. You could make out her serial number on the picture and thanks to the help of my uncle who works for the Swiss National Railway, we were able to track down Neuchatel (her name) in Daeniken, parked over easter. I had worked on that painting for three months so finding the subject I had stared at for so long was a wonderful moment. 


Excursion with my Grandma to the Rhine and Chuetraenki. Enjoying a hot drink at the restaurant where my Grandpa grew up.

Visiting with another of James' cycling friend who happens to live near my Grandma's. The world is so small.
