I started working full time two days after arriving into this extremely empty apartment. But trust me, many of those spare minutes in between then and now have been spent searching second-hand shops for antiques, organizing vehicles, finding free stuff, and dreaming the big 'Trading Spaces' dreams. It's starting to feel cozy but oddy enough I still find myself always sitting on the floor..JPG)

A few weeks ago I decided it was time to be part of Facebook and so far it seems like it was a good decision. My main reasons being a) curiousity and b) the chance that maybe it would result in someone coming to visit me here. However, now I am all confused between posting pictures here and posting in albums on Facebook. Truth is mom and dad don't have Facebook, so I can't possibly stop the blog. It's an online community pickle that I don't know the answer to just yet.

A friend of mine, Charlie, came over from England to enjoy our 'coincidently coinciding' vacations. We explored Zurich and the little villages around it and generally just had a lot of laughs and cooked a lot of food.
We spent two days hiking in the mountains near Interlaken; this was the chalet we stayed overnight in (above left), basically we played some cards and shivered into the night. It was worth it if not only to see the sunrise over the snow the next morning (below left). We spent a lot of time staring out at the valley feeling refreshingly humbled by its massivity. This is also Charlie contempating our path down... I think this picture was taken just moments before noticing the intercepting sheer cliff and having to backtrack. Better to have explored the path than be kept in wonder; wise words that stem far deeper than this days hike I say.
I am going to start writing comments to go along with the pictures I post again... a novel idea really.
