On to Switzerland!

The past few days have been quite a whirlwind!

• Took a six-hour train ride from Paris to Munich, arriving in Munich at 9pm Thursday.  Grabbed a beer at a local pub, went to bed.
  
• Spent Friday exploring Munich
• Met up with Janie and Carl Friday night for a fun night out that eventually wound down with hours of Jenga with two very nice German guys, and finally came to a close around 6:30am on Saturday.  (Wow)
• THEN, Jenna and I slept for about 2 hours, then got up, checked out of our hotel and caught the morning train to Fusse, where we visited Neuschwanstein (known as the "Cinderella castle")
• Took the train back to Munich that evening, met up with Janie and Carl and after some trouble getting the car out of the parking garage, we hit the road (the autobahn, to be exact) and crossed the borders between Germany, Austria and Switzerland .... finally arriving at Janie and Carl's wonderful apartment in Winterthur close to midnight.

We are so exhausted today -- and Jenna and I are still battled our colds -- so we are passing on our original plan to go skiing today and will just hang out, do some sight-seeing in Zurich, etc.  We're pretty bummed to have to pass up a day of skiing in Switzerland, but I really think it would be pushing it to try to squeeze that in.  Shmay.  It's hard to believe that we'll leave for Paris again early tomorrow morning, and then fly back to the States the day after that.  Goodness, the last part of this trip is flying by!!
