Wow THIS is Switzerland?

June 3rd, 2010

      We finally made it out of the airport and onto a short flight into Switzerland. Flying over the Alps was breathtaking and we had a perfect landing. Spent some time wandering around Lake Geneva and had a lovely afternoon having tea by the lakeside. Then we caught the train into Interlachen. Interlachen is, by far, the most beautiful place I've ever seen. The mountains are perfectly green and tower over the landscape, blending effortlessly with the bright blue sky. The mountains are so high that the clouds surround them and they nearly melt into the shining blue lakes. Our hostel is stunning, designed like the rest of the gorgeous Swiss homes, and our room has a patio overlooking the unbelievable scenery. We had one roommate, who was very kind, and ate dinner with the other Americans we bumped into on the ride into our small town. Dinner was fantastic: the macaroni here is made with potatoes and ham and the absolute freshest cheese. Everything here, from the bread to the jam, is homemade, as we are in the quaintest little offshoot of Interlachen. Big day tomorrow!

Miss you all so much, love love xx
