morning on the ZueriSee

My hair is slowly drying in the sun. I just went for a morning dive into the ZueriSee (Lake of Zurich) with Matt. It was the most beautiful moment this whole week, which has been full of them.

The sun rose this morning directly opposite us in Kilchberg. The sky is blue, so blue. The mountains rise in tiers of hazy shadows at at the south end of the lake. To the north, Zurich sits still like a jewel. Everything here is green and blue, and blue and green.

In the guest bedroom where I'm sleeping, I woke up this morning to see that there is a vineyard just there, just across the train tracks, below, the yellow and white and blue houses that look over the lake.

I arrived last night, on a Swiss flight. As soon as I landed, I felt at home, at peace. It's been 4 years since I spent 3 months here at a summer job, the best 3 months of my life. It'll probably be hard to leave. Matt met me at the airport, the darling. We had a few minutes at Zurich HB, so this is what happened: fototeddy.

first i bathe, then nap, then the Lindt chocolate factory, then i bike to zuerich. and swim again in time for lunch. yippee!
