8/1/07 - Lauterbrunnen

8/1/07- Lauterbrunnen
Thankfully we solved the mattress crack problem of our first night, so last night as cold-air puff free, and we got up at 8am wide awake. Today is Swiss national day, so the swiss are all patriotic today - even the cashier had painted little swiss flags on her fingernails. There were fireworks on and off all day, a parade in Interlaken, a bonfire in a sheer cliff-side, and a 4th of July worthy fireworks display at night. It was so cool, because every time a firework went off, you could hear the sharp detonation, then the rolling, crackling thunder of the echoes as they echoed down the valley.

didn't do much today because we were sore from yesterday. I uploaded 90 pictures, blogged, emailed, we read and napped, did laundry, and genrally hung out. For dinner we made a copy of the sausagee-cheese salad we had in Murren, plus a large number of beers and swiss chocadate.

I hard-boiled eggs to go in that salad, and that's all it takes to make me feel like I can't cook at all. I swear to god they're impossible.

Talked to my mom for a long time this morning, ans Shannon this afternoon. Tried to call my dad but no luck - besides, he didn't even email to acknowledge my first failed attempt.
