Mr. Carter's house in Pfungen
Lindsay's view from the plane
Day 2 : July 31st
We're here at last! Lucky Lindsay, who was the only one of us four to have a window seat, took some pictures of the breathtaking view of the beautiful country. At noon, we finally arrived at the airport in Zurich. All of us were starving since the only item we had for breakfast was the peanuts given to us on the plane. We stopped by Bruegger's Bagels and split three bagels between us.
While we were retrieving our luggage from baggage claim, we were greeted by Lindsay's uncle, Mr. Tom Carter. He was nice enough to pick us up at the airport with a smile and exclaimed, "Freundliche Grusse!", which means "Friendly Greetings" in German. He's allowing us to stay with him in his business house that he is renting in Pfungen, a town fifteen minutes from Zurich. We pulled into the elegant driveway and let out a gasp in unison. His house, with beautiful architecture, had a fantastic view of lush, rolling hills dotted with farms and small cottages. The visual was incredibly breathtaking as you can see from the pictures posted. Mr. Carter gave us a tour of the house, which included an outdoor pool, huge windows in all of the rooms, a warm fireplace, and an enormous kitchen. We dropped our luggage off into the roomy bedrooms and plopped onto the beds, exhausted from travel. We will definitely be going to bed early tonight! Switzerland is six hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time, making it eight o'clock right now. We all have to be up and ready for our first day of adventure tomorrow! Goodnight!
