Interlaken, Switzerland

We had a very enjoyable day in Interlaken yesterday. First, we found out that our bags were alive and well and we arranged for them to be delivered to Interlaken. We then took a long walk through the non-tourist part to one of the lakes boarding this town. The water is a fresh mint color and the air smells like sweet morning dew all day long. We purchased bread, grapes, cheese, meat and of course, chocolate, from the local grocery. They also have the most wonderful peach juice! It's as if they squeezed apricots like oranges the very morning of my purchase. We took care of laundry and met many people around the hostel yesterday evening, including some traveling Americans.

I also like Tim's trendy european glasses. I also love Migros and their chocolate aisle... one of my favorite parts of doing my bi-weekly grocery shopping when I lived in Geneva.
