The Uetliberg

Sydney taking a nap......

JP refusing to take one.



This week was somewhat busy. We managed to attend two English speaking playgroups, one indoor playground, two visits to the gym and our first play date with our new friend Carmen from Peru and her little son Maurizio. The weekend was quiet. We took a 20 minute train ride to Uetliberg Mountain; it is 871 meters above sea level and has a beautiful view of Lake Zurich and the Alps (when the sky is clear). While the train took us pretty high, we still had to push Sydney and sometimes JP on their double stroller (not an all-terrain stroller) on different hiking paths; it was tough but worth it. We stopped a couple of times to catch our breath and have snacks.

We also took some time to prepare for our first expedition to Europe (outside Switzerland) coming up this week (more details to come), and we also had a chance to see Paula, Jay, Chelsey and Dexter… through the internet, of course! It was great and we can hardly wait to see grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends using the same technology to keep in touch (and it’s free!). We love and miss you all!
