We were up on that cement wall where there's a great view of the city. {below}

Yesterday afternoon Jachen had his physical for the VISA process in Zurich, so we decided to spend the morning and afternoon up to the appointment in the city. I LOVE Zurich! When I was an Au pair in Switzerland in 2010 I would spend most of my days off in Zurich. It is such a pretty and large city. Yesterday I was able to see more of the city I hadn't seen before and OH MY. I had no idea it was THAT beautiful.

We walked around enjoyed the sites, went into the Grossmunster{the famous double tower Munster, was pretty lame inside...def NOT a pretty/gody church like you would normally see in Europe. We were surprised}. Did a little shopping{I say little because Zurich is CRAAZY expensive} and then got some lunch. We then headed to where the doctors office was, but got there an hour early so we walked around looking for some ice cream, found some. It was CRAZY hot out...luckily there are tons of water fountains around to cool our bodies down. By the time we got to the next fountain we were dry from the one before. Jachen had his appt and passed, clearly...he is one healthy kid. While he was getting checked out, I cooled off and slept in their waiting room. I couldn't help it, I was sleepy from the heat we walked in all day. 

A great little outing in Zurich and one step closer to getting the VISA for Jachen to live in the States.

< Day Trip To Scuol//PART TWO >

After we left Scuol, we took a train to Zernez to visit Jachen's grandma's sister who is 90! It was just a quick visit and then we headed back on the train for a 3.5 hour ride back to Landquart. The train ride was long, but as you can see very beautiful. There was a point in the train ride where we were going through switchbacks. I literally was running back and forth to both sides of the train to see the sights.

In Landquart we got off the train, Gunter and Luise stayed on and then Jachen and I drove home.

See part one of the day trip, HERE and the video that goes along with it.

This house below, with the arched doorway, is where Jachen's dad's father lived once upon a time.
