I'm vine. I mean, fine.

Apparently I'm really getting in to German, since I've started to spell English words that start with f with a v instead. Today it took me a long minute to realized why vinish (finish) wasn't recognized by my computer. I even sounded it out and though it was right. Last week I didn't catch the "I'm vine..." until it was too late and I had already sent the email. I'm not sure what message that sends, but, really, I'm vine with that!

My Zürich.

My parents started off their vacation here with a day in Zürich. They wanted to see "my" Zürich, so we rode the tram, went grocery shopping at my Coop, cooked together in my flat, went for a walk on my favorite running trail, had a lovely dinner with my flat-mate Georgie, went in to my office at ETH, met my co-workers, had coffee at the little cafe in my building, and saw my favorite look-outs over Zürich. It was fun to show my parents around my life here!
