Delta Sucks!!!
In New York City, National Weather Service meteorologist Patrick Maloit says the storm could be the worst the city has seen since February 2006 when about 26 inches fell in Central Park.
Dozens of flights have been canceled at the area's three major airports
including mine :(

New Super Mario Bros Wii!!!
Chris and i went to the launch party at the Nintendo World Store yesterday.
It wasn't so much of a "party" as it was a test of our faith in all things Mario.
It was POURING rain. The last time we waited in line outdoors in the rain, was for a free Madonna concert.

Then time for one last drink at the hotel bar.
Make mine a double.
Dinner in Old Town
Mom and I had dinner at an outdoor bistro, on a cobblestone street, at sunset, in Old Town Zurich. Sigh

Complete 180 From Yesterday
Today was 90!!!!
So we went to the waterfront and swam in Lake Zurich.
We looked around for a while to find sand, but everybody seemed to just be swimming off of the rocks on the edge, so we found a nice grassy area and joined them.
It was kind of like people chilling out on the Great Lawn in Central Park, but SO much better, because there was an icy refreshing lake you could go jump in to cool off!!!
We hear all over the place that the lake water is so clean that you can drink it.
It was pretty clean, but there were fish swimming up to me, so i dont see how anyone would want to drink it.
Anyhow, kind of a complete opposite of what we did yesterday, right?!
Snow and sledding one day, then sun and beach the next?

Video of me Sledding on Top of Mt. Titlus, Switzerland
i would have been screaming more, but this was actually my second time down the hill. Look at that view!!!
Sledding - at 10,000ft
This was, by far, the most fun we've had on our entire trip.
Sledding on top of the Swiss Alps!!
Actually, we are a little worried about how we could possibly top it?
Meet the Beagles
Oh Yeah!!!
We have been hanging out everyday with some of Colin's good friends, Jeff and Tina Beagle. Jeff participated in the Ironman with Colin (they train together in Michigan) so we have been hanging out with them everyday.
They are leaving tomorrow and we will be sad to see them go, because they are great traveling companions. Totally fun and up for just about anything!!!!
Get home safe you guys!
Journey to the Top
So today we went to the top of Mt. Titlus!!
We booked the tickets yesterday and were super bummed when we woke up to POURING rain.
But the weather cleared up litle by little and by the time we arrived at our destination, everything was fine
Im normally opposed to structured tours, but it was actually really informative!
We boarded a charter bus from downtown Zurich and headed out. Our tour guide was super sweet and she seemed to like our group the most (because we were so punctual).
We couldnt believe how high the mountain was and how high we were going!!
Once we parked at the base of the mountain in Engleberg, we had to transfer to 3 different kinds of lifts just to get to the top : 10,000ft up!!!!
The trip up took almost 45 minutes

Gaggle of Asian Flight Attendants
GeoTagged, [N47.37881, W8.50784]
Apperently our hotel is a hub for an Asian airline. Every morning and evening there are large groups of male and female flight attendants heading out for the day, or checking in. It is fun to see how different their uniforms are
Rain
The Honor System
Its a really well organized system of above ground Trams and Busses. They are all over the city, and are usually pretty crowded. Everybody seems to either use Public Transportation or ride their bikes. You even see a lot of women on their way to work on their bikes in skirts and high heels!!!! I guess that is a pretty major commitment to going green (^_^)
The Trams get their power from wires that run above the cars. Since there are so many, it kind of looks like the city is covered in black spider webs.
But the super weird part is that even though you buy a paper ticket, nobody EVER checks it and there isnt any sort of reader by the entry way.... its all based on the honor system!!!!!
Can you imagine if New York was like that?
Its inconceivable.
Top of Zurich
After the chocolate factory (which was tourless and lame) and a totally lack-luster lunch, we were a little disheartened.... but thing sreally picked up when we went to the Top of Zurich!!
We took the tram downtown and then transfered to one that went up into the mountains.
To a beautiful series of paths and woods and spectacular views. There was a tower at the top to climg and a super fancy restaurant that we may go back to when we have more time....
