Weekend in Switzerland

So the weekend is here and so is the beautiful weather--if it were November. It is 9 degrees and raining. So much for the mountain bike plan.


Tomorrow has a better outlook: 20 degrees with a bit of clouds. My plan is for some hiking on one of the many nearby trails before picking up Ann (and husband) from the train station.

P.S.
I uploaded a few photos of Navilyn, from the day I left for Switzerland, into Flickr (or would it be onto?).

One Last Time...

So as some of you may know, I have won myself another trip to Switzerland. In fact, I am typing this from my hotel room.

Unlike previous trips, I do not anticipate this one been anywhere near as stressful as earlier trips. My current plan is to do some mountain biking next weekend. :)

Until something happens (and I a least get some sleep), talk to you all later.

Switzerland, Again

I again find myself in Switzerland. I will be here for two weeks, again. And for the same customer, again. Notice a trend here? I do plan to mope less this time though.

I unfortunately left the good weather back home, as there are scattered showers here, overcast, and only 13 degrees. Lets hope that the weather is nicer, at least for next weekend.

Switzerland Status

I am still here. I haven't posted as much as people would like because of the fact I haven't done too much that is exciting. Yes, I am in Switzerland. You wish you were to set the sights, so do I. Yes I had a weekend to do so. The truth is I really don't enjoy sight-seeing by myself.

Over the last few work trips that I have been on by myself, I have realized that I am not a lone-traveller. When I am done work for the day I usually sit back and read a book. It allows you to escape the reality that I am all by myself ever so far from everyone I love. Alas, with my sob-story I did still go for a walk on the weekend, so yes I have some pictures. Although they aren't very exciting or good (and I appear to have dust in my camera and I don't have any of my cleaning equipment here).

So on Saturday I went out to see what there was to see.

I drove around a little in the beautiful weather--note the lack of MPH on the instrument panel.


And I walked along the Rhein river. It isn't to exciting at this point since it is fairly near the source.


I found some sort of bunker thing. If anyone knows what this is please let me know.


And from the backside.


And it looks like the Swiss were thinking of Joy when they made these steps.

Safely in Switzerland

I have safely found my way to the Swiss Heidi Hotel. I've included a couple pictures below:

The weather here feels like spring. During the drive the temperature ranged from -2 to 5 degrees, here at the hotel it is about 4 and sunny. The birds are chirping and the grass is green (partially). I think I'm going to have a nap...it is 6am back home and I only got a couple hours of sleep on the plane.
