London!

London for the weekend in June was amazing! We (Miriam, Sarah, Jared, and myself) only had two days to take in the delights of this city and it certainly wasn't enough time but we made the most of it!!!

My slightly irritated, bemused face . . .

Sarah said, "Lets do like in the Titanic" lol, so we did. Notice Jared is feigning ignorance of our presence and especially our photo shoot! haha . . .

Leaving Zurich and the alps in the distance

Mirm and Jared HAD to try the oysters!

Kiddos climbing the lions statues in Trafalgar Sqaure wearing these weird glasses that are "fashionable".

While we were resting in Trafalgar square all these nude cyclists came by! Lol!

This one cracks (pun intended) me up! ;-)

Old Viking game called Kubb

All the Canadians by the Canadian gate in the square in front of Buckingham Palace!

We ended our last night with traditional fish and chips and a Pimm's Cup! :-)

Zum Gerburtstag viel gluck, Zum Geburtstag viel gluck!

Aww! My birthday has been so amazing! Seriously the best ever so far for so many reasons! Spending it away from family in a country across an ocean and miles upon miles away can be hard but can offers so many surprises and blessings! I have made some amazing friends while being here that I'll keep a lifetime! Last night I met up with Miriam in Central Starbucks in Zurich (many memories at that place) and we sat for a bit and chatted and she said okay we are getting you a cake! We then walked to COOP and bought a chocolate torte and candles and walked down to Rudolf Brun Brucke and on the side with the huge stone wall (also memories there, lol) we found a dry spot (had been pouring and hailing an hour before) to consume my cake. :-) She also bought my a white rose (heheh) and my fave chocolate bar and the best card was hidden inside the chocolate bar that I found later when I took a few bites. :-D
The Grossmunster in the distance!

22 candles!

Golly, ich bin alt! ( i am old) hehe

Gorgeous babe, love ya!

So we are sitting there fighting over who was going to eat the rest, when she hit me the half the cake!!! Lol, a huge fight broke out, haha, best ever! People started walking by, some judging the mess we were making and others seeing the humour in our zest for life! ;-)

She totally started it!

Earlier that week walking back from church, enjoying the sunset!

ZURICHSEE from the Uetliberg! Mirm and I decided to last weekend explore the Uetliberg and see Zurich from above! Gorgeous!

There were some interesting Giraffe lamposts up there . . . *raised eyebrow*

Zuich and me! How can a place be this lovely?!?

Storms in Zurich! View of the lake from Bellevueplatz!

That cloud looked like death coming to snatch us away! Loved the feel in the air though, sitting by the lake! Made it just in time to the COOP restaurant for tea before the heavens opened and rained down God's fury . . . Was also Euro pride weekend.
