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.

Traveling Again

I again find myself about to head away from home for work. This time the destination is more envious than Malaysia or Arizona. On Sunday I will be getting on a plane to Switzerland. Doesn't that sound like fun? The fact of the matter is the work won't be fun, but I'll make the most of it.

Rather than take my snowboard, I'll be taking my camera and will use any free time I get to capture the scenery on film. Check back often, as since I imagine I'll update often due to the fact I'm away from home.
