MOO COWS.
these pictures were taken at a cow thing i went to on Saturday morning. They get all the cows together and deck them out in flowers in bells as the corral them through the streets as they head for there annual inspection. There you can see typical swiss people.. I went with my host grandpa and he told me all about typical swiss stuff.. Although it seemed like most of the typical swiss stuff was. ok you know when you go camping and you wear jeans and then some old wooly fleecy zip up and braid your hair? That is what they wear. Its not ugly or anything, you just can really see that the Swiss people are all about agriculture and the simple things in life. Often you would see little girls walking infront of the cows in traditional dresses... which.. Andy my host dad told me that they found a place in Apenzel for me to purchase my own Traditional Dress! YAY! i cannot wait.
Then on saturday we headed to this street party. And what ended up happening was... I spent the entire night with Lara,
we went to this party that was JAM packed. I dropped my hoodie from drayden twice.. but found it both times. phewf. and then we say Kreis and uhm... i cant spell his name and I danced with them because they are the only 2 faces there i knew. both really really nice guys. while Lara was diiiirty dancin with the guy she likes.. who acts like he is mr. cool and danced with all the other girls there. i told her i think he is a jerk. but she is so strung up on him. Anyways. i was wearing my 5 inch heels from 7pm to 4 in the morning when we get home so my feet today are death. we had to take a taxi home from the train station which is literally a 2 minute drive in the car.. which still costed us 8 bucks.. not to mention he was also 45 minutes late. so usually the trains are done at uhmm 1 ish 2ish.. so we headed to the trains at 2 when her friend said becuase tonight is the street parade that there would be trains going every hour. So we went back so she could find her boy.. who left after 15 minutes.. so we were stuck hobbling back to the train station (she wore heels too) and had to wait until 3 for the next train then finally got home at 4. Before we left though i was just sitting down because my feet hurt and i had not sat down in hours.. anyways.. there are so many boys that are drunk and just sit next to you and start creeping on you. of course i am like ugh "no sorry i dont speak german" and then they of course want to test out there english that they cannot do. So that was entertaining for about 5 minutes, then i was like... lets go home. and that is where the whole train thing happened. oh not to mention that these group of really really drunk adults who (to me) looked way to old to be out and acting the way they were stole our cab! bitches...
so we had to wait another 10 minutes for a new one.. which doesnt sound like a lot.. but when you are tired. swollen, and have a swiss girl saying we should just walk home it seems like 10 hours. i realize this one is short but i have kindergarten in the morning so i better get going.
Love you mom&dad

Glorious videos Jerrie! I LOVED IT!
Ethan will LOVE the MOOCOWS!lol - I can hear him now! I will tell Melissa to video tape him watching it! That should be sooo funny!
Kindergarten should be a wonderful experience for both you AND the kids! Can hardly wait for photos of that! Your time there with them will fill your heart!
Have a GREAT day!
Love you!
MOM
I am loving the cow experience. It is so funny to imagine you there and what it's like. And it sounds like "going out" there basically just resembles "going out" here. Sore feet (that look amazing), weird guys who can't really speak your language and people who are too old to be behaving that way. Yup. Sounds pretty normal. I cannot wait to hear about kindergarten. I keep picturing your character in "Mary's Go Round."
I am trying to imagine your cool in the middle of no where parties that got on sooo late. It seems very remote lol... you should take pictures of these events :) They just seem way cooler than parties at homes. LOVE you! <3 Courtney
ps. I am almost done one month of school! :) Feels SO long. urgh...
