The Journey Begins...

After an 8 hour overnight flight in which I did not sleep a wink, I arrived in Zurich with TK at 7:00 am to kick off this whirlwind world tour. Having watched both 21 and Shrek the Third on the airplane while sweating and growing grime all over my body, I was entirely ready to just get to the hotel room, nap, and wash, shave, brush, lather, and clean myself off. That being my greatest desire, we arrived at the hotel at 7:30 am with instructions that we could not check in until 2 pm. Thus, TK and I set off on a random walk for the next 8 hours in a city where people speak much less English than I had remembered...resulting in free bike rentals and 4 hours of riding along the Zurichsee (Lake Zurich) and swerving incredibly recklessly through complicated traffic patterns and little children...as well as doing random restaurant and museum stops.

Total Beers since Leaving NYC: 7

Oh. And George Foreman sat down across from me in the Charlotte Airport. Good stuff.
