Jet Lag

The night didn't treat me kindly due to jet lag, unlike Ursula, who wisely took a sleeping pill.

The day commenced with a delightful Swiss breakfast featuring options like yogurt, crispy rye bread, savory butter, and delectable Bündner Bergkäse (cheese), thoughtfully laid out by Wally for us to savor.

As is customary when relatives reunite after a long absence, we engaged in lengthy conversations, reminiscing about past events, and time seemed to pass swiftly.

In the afternoon, Wally took us on a leisurely drive that culminated at the Migros and Coop supermarkets in Aadorf. There, we procured dinner ingredients, and Ursula found some "goodies" on sale that were on our list to bring back to the US. I couldn't help but admire the cleanliness and meticulous organization of these supermarkets, in stark contrast to the United States. Instead of overwhelming quantities stuffed on the shelves, they offer a wider array of products in smaller portions. Many items tempted my eyes, but I restrained myself and chose only a "must-have" unique cheese.

Chef Wally's evening dinner was a culinary delight, perfectly complemented by the Rioja Reserva. Around 11:45 p.m., fatigue caught up with me, and I had to excuse myself. The rest of the group soldiered on in their conversations until 3:15 AM.

It was a splendid and relaxing second day in Switzerland!Leer más
