Another busy day at work... I like it that way. I didn't really do a whole lot of interesting stuff today... laminated, worked on putting together things for the Cloakroom for tomorrow's event, making cue cards for the host of the event, etc. etc. They kept me quite occupied! Oh and it was funny, I answered the phone earlier today and it was one of my coworkers calling... he immediately said "Why hello, Erin!" I was so surprised how he could already recognize my voice! Then after hanging up I realized that I am the only one in the office with an American accent. Woops! haha! Tomorrow I'll spend the whole day setting up for another event, so it will be a nice getaway from the office, and the events are more fun anyways!! Quite chilly ... read more

So REALLY.. how good-looking are the ppl in Switzerland? Bonuses of living in Switzerland: -it's a huge melting pot so you get ppl who speak French, German, and Italian.. or all (hot!) -ppl come from all over to visit and study here and most of them speak English -setting off the fire alarm means that fire-fighters and policemen will come (tall, blond, and handsome.. seriously, men are not the same as the US) -European men are extremely charming -European men have a cleaner look here.. you can't compare someone who is considered "hot" in the US with someone who is handsome here.. it's just 2 different categories -men and women both have piercing blue eyes (ice clear blue) and blond/e hair Random Facts about Swiss Life: -outlets have 10 random holes in them so you can ... read more

Caldazilla de Cueza - Sahagun 23 km 07.30-13.05 Uhr. Habe heute morgen mit einen sehr netten Schweitzer gefruehstuekt. Er hat mir sehr viel Mut gemacht, da ich ein wenig traurig war das alle nach Hause gefahren sind. Aber der Camino ist eigentlich "der" Treffpunkt. Man begegnet untertags zwar nicht so viel leuten aber spaetestens in der Herberge trifft man bekannte Gesichter. Das Gehen ist mir heute ueberhaupt nicht schwer gefallen. War sehr angenehm die 23 km. endlich ein paar Huegel wo man drueber musste. Auf den Weg Hadi getroffen, einen netten Saarlaender. Die Schwedin Anne die ich das lezte Mal in Burgos gesehen habe. In Sahagun habe ich auch den Ungarn wiedergetroffen der mit uns ein paar Tage in den Herbergen uebernachtete, der musste aber wieder nach Hause. Er wollte bloss nicht. Er wollte gerne ... read more

Tuesday was amazingly hot. Our landlord, Brian, later said it got to 116 degrees F (well, technically he said it got to like 47 degrees C and Uncle Dan converted it on his computer, but close enough). Unfortunately that was the morning that the power went out. No air conditioning in that weather is pretty miserable, so Uncle Dan went on a walk. Bird watching was a little impossible though because as he said, “the birds were sweating too”. When Aunt Mary finally got up, she called Brian and made sure the air would be back up soon, so we decided to head out and it was cooler when we got back. We went to Nafplion, about half an hour away. I loved it there. Uncle Dan and Aunt Mary even put up with shopping ... read more
