Jerrie's Travels

So we headed to Zurich and at first got really lost.. but eventually we found shopping. Sarah bought a couple cute shirts and i bought some cute headbands and a plain black t shirt for tomorrow. After chit chatting and not noticing the time, we decided to head back to the train station where we got SO MAD trying to figure out how to set my phone to t9... eventually i found out by myself but holy cow.. was it ever a journey to get there. Then as i sat on the train.. that was surprisingly busy for once i decided that i wanted to call home. Its only like 20 cents a minute so i wanted to have a quick chat with my mom. After about a minute of tracking her down i finally found her.. i don't think she recognized who it was at first.. and then i was like "mom.. its Jerrie!" and then she like immediately started crying! I didn't think it would happen but my eyes totally started to swell. I Miss home a lot. and i know i miss it.. but i just didn't realize how much until i talked and heard my moms voice! Anyways we talked briefly and it was really good. But after we hung up i was quite somber and sad... but just as i looked up there was a teenage girl diagonal from me and this REALLY REALLY REALLY old man. Who must have been in his high eighties or nineties. And he started to talk to me in German.. I told him i was from Canada, and he seemed over joyed "Prima! Prima! TipTop!" haha then he kept talking slow and german like to me.. and the girl would look up at me and we would both smirk.. because its like.. we both knew i had no idea what he was saying but i was like "mmmhmm" and being friendly to humor him. He was so cute. He kept talking to me about how he was a shoe shiner and then half way through his life he switched to the metal industry... then he kept talking and i looked at the girl to sort of translate.. and she just kinda looked at me like "haha just forget it and say "ja" ... so I did. Then my stop came up so i left... then i continued to pal around the station waiting for my train at 16:08... and as i turned around.. GUESS WHO I SAW!. he came up to me and continue to talk about his train.. or something.. and then he said "auf Weidersehn!" and shook my hand he was so charming. Thats how i met the girl next to me (she took the picture of us). She spoke very good english and was asking me all about my exchange so that was good to pass the time by. Then finally my train arrived and i made it home safe and sound. Last night Maryanne invited me to a movie. It was for tonight.. but we rescheduled for Next Thursday.. It is apparently cheap ladies night at the Cinema In Germany so we are going to hit that up. We as well are hanging out tomorrow. So that is going to be good.

I cant wait to wear my red cowboy boots tomorrow. Its going to be sweeeeeeet! 

i was also informed that there winters... the coldest it gets is -5 to -10 ish.. us Canadians laughed. 

And i am looking for many many many shoes in Switzerland! Its all i shop for!

OOH BRANDY'S FRIEND. NIC. ok what I did was i got my mom to call my hair salon to tell her what happened. She said if I send it back she will get me a new one. But i know in the Chi Instructions or what ever they have a contacting number. i would try that. Don't stress if yours is broken. Chi stands by there product. One time this girl like dropped hers on the ground (totally not the companies  fault) and the ceramic shattered everywhere. and they still sent her a new one! 

*note to self. Bring Canadian Flag.

anyways. please enjoy the photo of the old man.

he was stellar.

love you mom&dad
