Have you been to the Alps? Yes but I didn't see them.

Sunday we were supposed to have a hike in the Alps. Unfortunately, it was below freezing and clouded in so we weren't able to go where we needed to.

We took a gondola from Engelberg to Trubsee. It is a hiking and ski mountain, but there wasn't much of either going on. Too early for skiing and very few hikers, mostly us and other foreign tourists. But I did get to see snow! Not that I don't see that enough, but it was weird seeing it September.

As I was leaving my apartment I had my winter coat on and it felt so weird. It wasn't right, because I'm only supposed to wear this coat in Chicago and I was definitely not in Chicago. Seeing snow really messes with your mind, because now I am in winter mode. Not good, its September 27th.

We were able to walk around in the snow for about a half hour...we really couldn't see much. It was like when I went to the Grand Canyon but couldn't see it. Good luck I guess.

A White September?

Me in the snow. Snow is really nice when its not black and slushy.

This was the gondola down, yeah you really can't see anything. Slightly terrifying.

This is Trubsee Lake when I was there.

Apparently this is Trubsee Lake when its clear and warm. I'm not sure if I believe it.

After we came down from there we went to Luzern. Oh this whole time we are in Switzerland, fyi. Luzern was nice, a lot bigger of a city/town that I thought it would be. I was planning on going there with Paige and her friends next weekend, but that might need to change.

Luzern has these really really old covered bridges that were cool. So we walked across those and just walked around the town a bit. We ended up buying some bread to feed the angry swans. They were so mean, but entertaining.

Overall a good day, but would have been more fun if we could see when we were in the Alps and could have gone hiking.

The riverfront.

ALL THE SWANS!!!

More Luzern.

As I said, I am going to see Paige this weekend and we are gonna go somewhere. So hopefully then I will get a better look at the Alps.

That's all I got for now. I need to do some reading considering this weekend I was super lazy and didn't do any homework. But I was able to watch about 9 episodes of The Big Bang Theory, don't judge...

And yes I will post about Prague at some point.

Write soon,
