Week of January 26th

The journey continues! On Tuesday, I went running for 3 miles along Lake Geneva. The weather was great! That same night, I had worst hamburger of my life. Switzerland is not known for its beef. On Thursday during lunch, I went to the train station to meet some of my friends which I had met at L’Abri. Before meeting them, I went to the laundry mat to wash some of my clothes which was a very interesting experience. To do 1 load of laundry is 12 Swiss Francs which is equivalent to about $12.00 (7 Swiss Francs for the washer and 5 Swiss Francs for the dryer). The entire process took 1 hour. For the dryer you had to keep putting money in every 4 minutes. I then went to the train station to meet up with my friends and they ended up not showing up because one of the girls got sick. Later that night, I went to Les Pinocchio ordered ravioli and an icecream sundae (see picture). I also tried to order water, but the waiter said, “No,” and left. I was shocked!
