I'm sitting at Starbucks. Yup. Perhaps not ideal, but I knew how to get here from the apartment and knew they had free internet connection.(what they don't have is American electrical outlets so this may be shortlived....) Adam behind the counter - from Egypt - was v. kind and even taught me a little German and said I could come in and practice speaking anytime. The music is great and I'm catching little bits of conversations as well. I won't even tell you how much my non-fat latte with a pump of mocha was ....
I have decided that the best way for me to get on Swiss time when I arrive from the US is just to sleep until I'm on their schedule. This meant going to sleep when we arrived yesterday at noon-ish, (poor M. had to go straight to work) waking up at 6, having a little bite for dinner and then bed again at 9pm. We both awoke at 1am, chatted, did a crossword puzzle together and were asleep again by 2am. Mark got up at 8:30, I dozed and then went back to full-on sleeping after he left until about 3pm. Now I feel great!
I'm sure that the fact that I am still fighting the ole' Bronchitis helps with the sleeping... my only word of caution to anyone who might undertake such a bout of mini-Rumplestilskin-like-ness .... beware the dreams that will fall upon you! I seem to forget about this until I sleep too much or off-schedule - it never fails and the dreams and characters stay with me for days... Things and people from the past that may remain unsettled/unsettling will likely appear and visit in the most odd and confusing ways. My brow is still furrowed as I type. I think this might call for a long journal entry to attempt to exorcise these little demons...
I took some photos today and will take more over the weekend and promise to have a plethora for all to check out early next week.
Low battery. Must sign off. Guten Abend.
