Ok…since I’m so far behind with my
writing, I’m going to combine the 11th & 12th into
one post so I hope you can keep up…
11th:
We started the day with breakfast
at a bakery in the city center & then some light shopping on our way back
to the hotel. We checked out & hit
the road for Zürich. Lee was such a gentleman
& let me sit up front, which helped a little. I was still a little woozy but it was nothing
like the day before. The drive was nice
but it rained a good bit of the ride.
The scenery was still beautiful despite the rain. We parked & then headed to town to meet a
friend of Andrea’s for coffee. After
that, we just walked around. The city was
nice but not my favorite. We did get to
see a church whose stain glass windows were done by Chagal. They were beautiful but I wasn’t allowed to
take pictures =( We didn’t spend too
much time in the city because we had to get to Maur, just outside of Zürich,
for a bbq at Ulrike’s. Andrea &
Ulrike have been working a ski camp for kids the past couple of years. The group gets together once a year & it
happened to be the night there were 3 Americans in the mix. We had a great time. The food was AMAZING & we were able to
sit around a good old fashioned camp fire.
Of course, there were no smores but I wasn’t complaining. At around midnight, we decided to call it a
night.
12th:
We didn’t rush today which was
nice. We got up, dressed, & had a
lovely breakfast before hitting road around 11.
Our first stop of the day was the Rheinfälle which are the waterfalls on
the Rhine river. It rained pretty much
the entire day which was nice for me because that meant it was cool. The waterfalls were really nice to see. We walked around for a while & then
decided to hit the road for Emmendingen.
I was apparently pretty out for most of the trip because we drove the
Freiburg on the way to Emmendingen. As
we drove through, I woke up long enough to say, “Are we in Freiburg? Yay!”
& then went right back to sleep. It
was a good day for a drive =) When we
got to Emmendingen, we had coffee & cake with Andrea’s brother & his
family. It was delicious! Of course, we’ve sat in the car all day &
then had coffee & cake so we decided it would be nice to walk around before
we had dinner. We walked up to the
Hochburg, took some pictures, & then headed to town for some ice cream…as
if we needed something else to eat but it was ABSOLUTELY YUMMY TO MY
TUMMY!! We saw downtown Emmendingen
& headed back to the Ernst house for some dinner. I cannot tell you how good the food was. Jürgen is an anesthesiologist by day but should
be a cook by night. He was in charge of
the Schnitzel & Petra, his wife, made some carrot salad that makes you want
to “slap yo mamma”. I ate a little more
than I should’ve but hey…when in Rome!
We had a nice visit before getting on the road to Sinzheim. Stay tuned for what happens next…
