One of the highlights of my trip was meeting up with the incredible Krystal - we've been blogging buddies for a while and it was so fun to finally meet her in person. She graciously got up extremely early to meet me at the Zurich train station for breakfast on my last day in Switzerland. She was even more lovely in person, and if you don't already read her blog, you really should check it out, she finds and shares the most beautiful things.
Krystal has just moved to Luzern, a charming little city I visited on my first weekend there (turns out she was there that day showing some friends around too, but we didn't know that until later.) I think she is crazy lucky to live in such a charming place.
Luzern has a charming old town a short distance from the train station. There are several bridges you can cross to get to Old Town, I loved both the old wooden bridge (first photo) and this lovely metalwork bridge - it was a very rainy day so the umbrellas added a bit of color.
I didn't spend a lot of time shopping in old town (a three week trip in carry on luggage means no space for shopping.) But I did stick my head into H&M to look for sunglasses since I broke mine the day before I left. I was sad to find that I'm too old/not cool enough for the sun glasses they are selling now - how did that happen? Instead I gave up completely on the shopping and kept wandering.
Anyone out there have any good tips on finding sunglasses this year? I'm after a pair that doesn't cover my entire face - and that fit my sunglass rule - nothing over $30. I've found the second I shell out more money than that they will break/get lost within the first two weeks of ownership.
I finally picked up the entire Noah and the Whale album - some very good music. Here's their Life Is Life Pin It
Here's the deal - saying goodbye is taking more time than I thought, and since I want to enjoy the time I have left here, I'm going to put them emphasis on living life, not blogging. Thus the short post, with one of my favorite photos from the past few months and a song I love.
