vierwaldstättersee

today i took an amazing boat ride from brunnen to luzern.

it was the most beautiful ride. the weather was perfect....the breeze cool and the sun warm. i cried a lot but that's what i do best. i had my headphones on the whole time listening to songs that reminded me of here....of people.

when we got to luzern i sort of freaked out a bit. the boat ride was so mellow and lovely and there were fourteen billion people on the docks right by the HB--we also docked around 4 so it was rush hour, fall school holidays and some crazy ass carnival.

mass walls of people was not something i was looking for.

i quickly found a side street to take some deep breaths.

i would have walked around a lot more but i am so poor and i would have liked to eat....but knew it would be like 30 francs--and did i mention the amount of people?

maybe it's been rainy all over schweiz the past few days cause today the humans were out in full force.

i opted to walk a bit then came back 'home' to zurich.
got some food in me and while i am wavering on tears, feeling much better.

i will miss you too.....i remember when i was leaving DC....i guess it was like five weeks and i thought that it would go slowly but it didn't and as i have found here, five weeks ago i wouldn't have thought i would be here today this fast.

i wish my friend was here but i am happy to have the peace of this flat....it's been a great comfort to me to know that i have made significant friends/connections with people here.

it's some kind of odd emptiness and also a sense of feeling so full....
