Lake Zurich

After walking around Old Town Zurich, Laura and I took a boat ride on Lake Zurich. Lake Zurich is big and beautiful!!! It was windy out there!


The white speck in the distance is a sailboat.

Laura and I had a great time talking during the relaxing boat ride!


A look back at Zurich
The boat we were on stopped at multiple stops around Lake Zurich and then headed back to our original point of departure. Many of the stops were simply lovely!

We saw some beautifully picturesque scenes.

I love the colored houses in the middle!



This looked like a fun place to swim, if the water was warm enough!

Laura spotted another damlation! (And she wasn't the only one watching it!)

We saw a number of clock towers, and it cracked us up that they were not synchronized. I guess I expected more from the famous Swiss clock-makers!!

After the boat ride, Laura and I headed back to the hotel, Laura got her things, and I went with her to the airport. She had to fly back to Madrid on Monday afternoon, but I stayed in Zurich that night. Tuesday morning, she and I both flew back across the Atlantic Ocean and arrived in Dallas. We were so happy to be back in America!

Overall, Laura and I definitely had an absolutely amazing trip! I'm so glad she studied in Spain and asked me to come meet her in Europe and travel around together! We had a wonderful time together! I'm so thankful to Mandi and Arnold for sharing their home, life, family, and love with me and also with Laura. It was great to interact with the wonderfully friendly Italians and to see the sights in Italy and Switzerland. Thanks for bearing with me as I have taken three and a half months to blog about this trip, (and almost nothing else in the meantime!) I'm thankful that Jordan supported me 100% to go on this trip and to enjoy myself. (It was hard enough being away from him for that long; I don't know that I could have done it if I didn't absolutely know that he supported me being there!) I look forward to the time when I can go back to Europe with Jordan! - That was one of the things that Laura and I talked about - what we wanted to see again with our husbands! Thanks, Laura! I had a blast!
