Flying in to Zurich
I'm here!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was awake at 8:00 am home time yesterday morning, and three plane rides, one train, one car, and one lost bag later here I am! (in case you're concerned I got the bag... some generous chartered flight brought it with them from Vancouver to Zurich. Considering that's not a normal route I'm counting my lucky stars!)
My fabulous host sister Miriam <3
I was picked up at the airport by my first host mom, my second host mom, and my two sisters from my second family- one of which is leaving to Venezuela when I arrive. The five of us had fancy fruity drinks at the airport and then took the 1.5 hour train ride to Thun where I live. Miriam and Sara spent the ENTIRE ride making fun of me saying things in German. At one point I pronounced cat incorrectly so it meant something gross and I had the whole train car in hysterics. Great :P Miriam invited me to go to some festival thing tomorrow night so that should be fun!
What a wonderful welcome!
After that I was met by my host dad and he took Ruth (my host mom) and I back to their place.
We ate dinner, and had the most amazing ice cream and chocolates I've ever had in my life! I also promised my host dad that I would climb a cool square mountain by our house with him, and my host mom is making plans to take me down to Italy either this Saturday or the next to go to a little market. I'm also going swimming with their grandchildren tomorrow I think. Wow it's so exciting!
But it's ten here now and I've been up for going on 30 hours so good night :)
