Neufeld Zürich

... UNESCO (which I would love to work for someday), the International Bureau of Education, a professor of the Graduate Institute, and a collaborator from a journal. Overall pretty successful.

On Wednesday my friend Ace and I took a trip up to Zurich to use up our free train day pass. When we got up to Zurich we met up with two boys, one that Ace knew through a friend, and they showed us around Zurich. We walked down the ...

... Velo auf die Meiersalp gefahren und habe dort gecampt. Die Nacht war Sternenklar und die Temperaturen auch noch relativ hoch (ca. 5 Grad Celsius). Es wird deshalb bestimmt nicht meine letzte Testfahrt gewesen sein.

Hier noch ein paar Bilder...

... Once we got closer to the summit, we had to switch to a bigger gondola that looked like it held about 15 to 20 people. Now that was kinda scary! It was higher up off the ground and also being at basically the summit we could see the whole mountain range around Lucern, which was wicked! Reaching the summit it was very cold, not to mention I didn't dress properly! But in proud Canadian fashion, KB went straight for the snow and made a ...

... in, put our bags in our room and then headed out to do some shopping...well looking really. There was a cool pedestrian only area with tons of shops everywhere...and tons of people! But I guess that`s what happens on a Saturday in Lucerne. Then after our experience in Interlaken we wanted to check to make sure we could still go up to Mount Pilatus on the Gondola's. So we went to talk to the guy who sells tickets, and he said it was still ...

Its hard to believe my week is over already and that tomorrow I go back to work but I had a ball all the same and it just makes me want to come back even sooner.

I just want to take the chance to say thank you again to my wonderful family, Gotti, Goetti and Delia for making this trip so special.

This is my last trip for a while but the minute I jet off again Ill send you all an update.

Miss You

... that I need to polish up my Spanish and become at least bilingual. It's so amazing to interact with so many of the mainland Europeans who know 3, 4, 5 and even 6 languages and sometimes I feel I can barely converse in one. Humbling to say the least.

I'll probably post once more before I leave Europe, but it will depend on internet access and cost in my hotel. I'm not quite sure what I'll do in Zurich. A friend gave me her map and recommended a walking tour so I'll probably do ...

... who, in all honesty, looked slightly scared at the prospect of sharing his patch with a bunch of fellow Wulfrunians, quite possibly with good reason. After nailing the high scores screen on the quiz machine (and using our previously fast growing collection of Swiss coins), we headed back to Emma's for sleep. The next day, Zug showed us that it doesn't have permanent sunshine, and ...

... then a large group one - up the super-steep Mt Pilatus, just one of the many mountains in the Alps. We passed over multi-coloured forest, farmland and even a mountain tobogganing rig to alight at the top to what can only be cliché-ing-ly described as a breathtaking view. The pictures will speak for themselves, but we looked out over the sea of fog to see the tips (very large tips) of the other Alps, many snow-capped, and once the fog had dissipated, we ...

... how they now can dive from the side of the pool (in the deep end, of course). This was nice exercise and a fun way to spend the afternoon together in the water. Although it began snowing more steadily later in the evening, we plan to get up early tomorrow and try again for the animal park.
