Engelberg (and Lucerne), Switzerland

Guten Tag, y’all! I arrived in Zurich, Switzerland on Friday morning. The coach bus stopped at a rest stop for lunch, where I tried Swiss pizza and paid a Swiss Franc to use the bathroom there. Later that day, in Engelberg, I rode in a cable car up Mt. Brunni for dinner, mac and cheese with applesauce, which was surprisingly good. There was also a playground there with a trampoline (which you’ve seen if you follow @boisterous_siesta on Instagram). I took a lot of pictures that day (which you’ve seen if you follow @tranquil__fiesta on Instagram) and went shopping. I got a sticker that says Engelberg, and I decided to get one of those in every city I go to. That night, I got to catch up on sleep and test out the famous European comforters that the directors have been telling us about. Yesterday, I watched a show on CBBC (British channel) called “Raven”, which I recommend you watch (there are a lot of episodes on YouTube). Then I bought an apple for 4.20 Swiss Francs (1 franc is about 1 dollar). I paid 7 Swiss Francs for water with my lunch in Lucerne and I visited a lot of shops with some new friends. Yesterday  evening, we had a concert in the small park across from our hotel. A lot of people came to watch and they seemed to really enjoy it. I got to practice my job as librarian for the string ensemble (collecting everyone’s folder at the end) and watch old couples dance to a jazz song, which was nice. It was late by the time I got back to my room, but my roommates and I decided to sing “Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You”, which has been stuck in our heads for almost the whole trip so far. I didn’t get to bed until late last night, so I was pretty tired when we got up to travel to the medieval town of Zug this morning (more on the next post). See y’all later!
