Swiss Watches, Mountains, and Hotel Workers

After breakfast, we walked up to the “Bucherer,” a famous, high-quality Swiss watch shop. Mark, Dad, and I all bought watches. Dad’s is guaranteed for a lifetime. It was about $320.00 in U.S. money! God, all together today, Dad must have spent $700.00! We then walked across a bridge dating back to 1333!
After lunch, we took the mountain train (practically straight up) for 3 miles! At the top of Mt. Pilatus, it was clear and fresh, with a breathtaking view of the Alps and valley below. We then took the tram-ski-lift-like thing down - also indescribably beautiful!

Oda was right when she said the weather changes from one minute to the next. It’s pouring down rain now! But I still love Switzerland very much (even though they don’t allow women to vote).
At the desk in the lobby, when I was asking for my key, the guy said: Vous etes tres jolie. I was so embarrassed, but also flattered. Also, these Italian waiters (around 20-years-old) were all pointing at me and smiling. It’s flattering, but funny, because they probably do it to every female.
