We left the house at 9am and didn't return until nearly 7. What a day. We Drove one half hour through the hair pinniest roads you can imagine (all at what seemed fast speed to me) and got on a train in a small village called Eyholz. We rode this regional mountain train for one hour until we reached Zermatt, the town at the end of the Matter Valley, which is home to none other but the Matterhorn himself. I'd been here once before, when I was an exchange student. But if there is something that 40 teenagers do when they are traveling together to an organized meeting of students is pay attention to their surroundings.
The mountains were stunning. And guess what was a close second? Food. And food. And food. We took the extreme mountain rail up to a look out point called Gornergrat. I guess it could be considered more than a loon out point. It has a hotel, and a restaurant among other things. We had lunch here, and I won't go into details but I'll express my joy through photos, see below the pictures of food.
We wandered the souvenir streets of quaint Zermatt, before sitting down for one more coffee before we got on the train. Of course, when I say we ordered coffee, I mean that I ordered the largest beer they had. And I ran out of time, which means I had to chug it. By this point in time it had become quite warm where we were outside, to which I thought removing my jacket and long sleeves revealing my dress would be appropriate. I forgot to wear a camisole under my dress today. It's low cut. And i'm afraid I've become unaware of how large my breasts a actually are. So, imagine if you will, me in a low cut black sleeveless cotton dress, hair in two long braids, boobs a plenty, chugging a liter of beer, that is sort of spilling all over my chest. All this while my friend Rita and TJ have already headed toward the train were supposed to be boarding. It's a nice image.
Adventure two: Swiss grocery store. Rita had to stop for a few things, and we needed comestibles for our 7 hour journey to Avignon tomorrow. Not a lot to say except that it was awesome, but these pictures might help to convey hilarity. Foreign super markets are always a good time, and it's a low cost activity.
Keep your fingers crossed for free wifi in the hotel tomorrow!
