Went to Lake Lucerne http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Lucerne (actually Mt Rigi http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mt_Rigi) 
today and it was spectacular. It was one of those trips that takes your breath away. On the way there you take the train from Basel and then switch to another train and then that train gets you a boat that takes you for an hour across Lake Lucerne which is absolutely gorgeous and then you take the oldest cogwheel train in Europe up the side of a mountain (Mt. Rigi). It was absolutely amazing. It's about 6,000 feet above sea level and it took my breath away. On the boat I was actually able to catch my first rays given how amazingly random the weather has been. I was talking to our franchise director (the big boss) the other day and I said when I interviewed they told me that summer in Switzerland was lovely and without missing a beat he told me that's just what we tell you in the interview. Cute, huh?
Now I'm home with a friend watching Live Earth. Boy is our planet f*cked up. Everything from global warming to global genocide. Is it possible to stop it all? And watching Giant Stadium makes me home sick! But in the end is flying singers / actors around the world and using trillions of watts of electricity for these shows the correct way to do it? Not sure...
Off to Stuttgart next weekend to visit a friend, then to London the following weekend, then moving the weekend after that. Can't WAIT to see my bed! August 1 is Swiss independence day and I'll either be sleeping all day in my bed, or sneaking in fireworks somewhere...heck I might go nuts and do both.
Even though I'm not a huge fan of Starbucks coffee (too bitter). A Jewish boy from Brooklyn getting everyone to pay $4 bucks for a coffee (almost not matter where you go; there are now more Starbucks coffee shops in London than NYC if you can believe it)...as the VISA commercial says...PRICELESS!
