Shayla In Town

One of my college roommates, Shayla, came to ZURICH while on a trip to Milan, Italy with her husband for his thesis presentation (sweet, I know). So she braved the European railways and came up to spend the day with me & Kels. I was like a kid on Christmas Eve waiting for her to come. Two years ago, I would have laughed if you told me Shayla and I would be driving around Switzerland together. It was a dream to have one of my old friends in the setting of my new world.

First, we went to Zurich and I showed her around a bit. Tally and Shayla became friends during our college days so we met him for lunch down by the lake. We ate a classic Zurich Cervela with bread. Shayla in front of Grossmuenster.

Tal told us to get together for a shot which was a great idea...only, not such great timing. Here's a picture of the construction zone at one of the main tram stops. :)

Next we took the train to my house so Shayla could see where we lived. I wish she and Quinn could have stayed with us a night, but I'm not going to complain. At least I got to see Shayla.

Then we were off to Lucerne for a stroll along the famous Chapel Bridge and over to the Lion Monument. I also made Shayla try lost of Swiss chocolate and shoggi gipflis (Chocolate Croissants).


We had some great laughs and good talks - even getting checked out by the traffic guard who then stopped traffic to let us through. It was such a blast to have her here and catch up. She also brought us our much needed BYU apparel. Thanks for coming Shayla!!
