Settling In

Studying another language makes you tired. 

Especially when you are fasting,

 and trying to focus and recognize familiar phrases through 3 hours of church. 

But we understood more this week than we did last week!

That's improvement, right?

This week we ran a few more errands.  

Opened a new bank account, 

visited professors, 

tested out one of the sports centers at the Hönggerberg campus. 

For date night we took a stroll through Seefeld and along Lake Zurich. 

We took a day trip up to Uetliberg 

or the "Top of Zurich" 

On a clear day you can see Lucerne and the Alps!

You can't tell in the picture, 

but some the clouds behind Stephen aren't actually clouds....

some are snow capped mountains!

Look Mom!  There's campus!

From Uetliberg you can hike for days, 

literally from one town to the next.

And there are lots of cool restaurants along the way. 

We will definitely be taking our families here when they come to visit!

(and you too if you happen to find yourself in Zurich ;))
