Snow Day

The International School of Zug and Luzern had it's first snow day in years today because some heavy, wet snow downed trees, causing traffic accidents and closing the road to the school for a few hours. Snow days are just as fun and refreshing in Switzerland as they are in the states. They're even more fun when your favorite baseball team won the World Series the night before. Spent most of my day reading every article I could find, watching every highlight, listening to 610 WIP live (luckily stumbled into it on iTunes a few weeks back...just in time for the playoffs), and watching the last three innings over and over. What a day.

Since I've not written in a while, a quick recap: Kristina and I had a great weekend in Prague a few weeks back, taking in the sights and enjoying a beautiful city. I even bought a Bohemia crystal decanter set. After returning from Prague, my brother in law, Colby, his wife, Yash and our 15 month old nephew Cameron arrived for two weeks. They got to enjoy much of the Swiss lifestyle, eating cheese and hiking through the mountains around Zurich. And they asked Kristina and I to be Cameron's Godparents. Quite an honor.
Other than that, we're hoping to take a trip to Interlaken sometime in November, then it's onto Christmas parties and the world-famous Zurich Weihnachten Markt. More to come...
