I would like to throw several words your way before parting with my beloved keyboard for almost a week to traverse through a small, albeit exciting, portion of the Alps region. Technically, that was the first order of business, but I will expand on the topic. Tomorrow evening, I leave for Zürich, Switzerland (I'm obsessed with umlauts, but that one really does belong there). Switzerland, to me, seems like a veritable wonderland of beauty, with little streets and quaint houses, all situated around water, with the snow-capped mountains looming in the background. I have wanted to visit Switzerland for quite some time now. Apart from being in love with its beauty (I've only seen pictures, but if Google images convince me, can you imagine what the actual country will do?), I find Switzerland's melange of cultures and languages fascinating. I will come back bearing stories of this seemingly mystical place, along with the more tangible treasures that are cheese and chocolate.
The wonderful thing about Europe is its proximity to everything else in Europe, so while in the Swiss region of this spectacular continent, I will also be visiting Salzburg, Austria. Six years ago, I had the opportunity to see Vienna, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I am sure Salzburg will be just as wonderful, especially because I will be going on the Sound of Music tour! Considering I was raised on that splendid film, I am horribly excited. Doe, a deer, a female deer...
Third order of business? I'm addicted to coffee. Perhaps I should create a separate bank account for java expenses.
