My complaint of the day- only 1 I promise!

Okay- While my parents were visiting the weather was beautiful...sunny breezy and cool in the shade
My complaint.....they need some AC here! I am way too American but there is no place to cool off. We have to walk everywhere which makes you sweat and then you go into your flat and it is so hot! Trying to manage the location of the fan, closing shutters to keep out the sun....ugh!
I have sweat more in the last 3 days than you could ever imagine. The best place to go cool off is the grocery store. SAD!
My poor parents were sitting on the balcony to catch a breeze soaking washclothes in ice water for there necks! It was hysterical. I guess you had to be here to get the jist but I had to file a complaint with someone....Thanks for listening!! Love and miss you all!

Its Been a While...sorry!

Hey!!! Well it has been forever since I blogged but we have had visitors since late May. It started with Chris's parents visiting. It was so great to see them and Mary Molloy was so happy! Chris's parents took a side trip to Lake Como and had a great time. When they returned we headed to Paris while they watched MM. Chris and I spent almost 3 days in Paris....it was awesome and a nice break! We saw as much as we could see in a short amount of time. The weather was cool and overcast which was probably best since we walked the whole city! Chris and I were so tired from all the walking but it was good for us since we ate our way through the city!
We returned and enjoyed the Stricklands for a few more days.
We had a week with just us and then my parents arrived and just left yesterday. It was so much fun and we had a ball visiting with them. We took them to Mt. Pilatus, Rhein Falls, Lausanne(where my mother went to school in 1964 -65). We did a lot and they just soaked up MM. I miss them already.
We will be heading home in mid September...for good! So excited to get back and see you all!!! I will be sad to leave all of our new friends here in Zurich....it went by so fast!
We love and miss you and can't wait to see you in 3 months!
