After rain, rain, and more rain, some other girls and I
decided to flee to southern Switzerland to get some bright, shining, warm
weather. On Sunday, we went to Lugano, which is in the Italian speaking part of
Switzerland. The train ride was about two and a half hours long. The first two
hours the scenery was beautiful yet foggy and eerie. Then all of a sudden we
went through a tunnel, and when we came out the other side, it was gorgeous and
sunny! Welcome to paradise.
Being in Lugano felt like being in a completely different
country. The language and culture drastically contrasted with the German part
of the country I’ve been living in. The city was gorgeous, quaint, and full of
wonderful Italian food. There were green, green mountains jutting right out of
the pristine, blue lake. We took a funicular to the top of Monte San Salvatore
and got a spectacular view of the city, lake, and mountains. It was surreal
seeing palm trees and snow covered Alps at the same time. Even the train rides
through the country are a wonderful part of the journey. It seems that every
step along the way is postcard perfect, with mountains, lakes, waterfalls, beautiful
homes and farmland. Switzerland truly is blessed with some of the most amazing
scenery I’ve ever seen in my life.

We spent the rest of the day wondering around the city,
eating gelato, and soaking up the sun. It was such a refreshing day, full of
relaxation, exploring, and new friends. This diverse country keeps me on my toes and
continues to keep me in awe of all that it has to offer.
