Here is another post about Hannah and my adventures in Switzerland.
We were quite active in the days following our last post. We went for another run and were stopped by a couple that asked us how we knew Williams (I was wearing a Williams shirt). Turns out he was an Economics Professor at Williams in the 1960! What a small world!
We also took the scenic train from Château-d'Oex to a village called Chamby and from there walked over to my grandmother's house. We were lucky enough to have a beautiful view of Lake Geneva the entire time and recharged our batteries by indulging in a delicious lunch where we ate fresh fish right out of the lake (yes landlocked countries can have fresh fish).

The 8th marked the first day of work for Hannah so my dad, her and I decided to bike the 50 miles from my house to Kandersteg. The first 45 miles went smoothly on nice roads with great views. The last 5 miles on the other hand proved a little more difficult. We decided to stay on the bike route and the paved road turned into a gravel trail with steep (seemed like almost vertical) uphills. Our back wheels kept spinning out which forced us to walk our bikes up a couple of the hills. But, despite minor incidents, we made it to Kandersteg and our efforts were rewarded by beautiful views and a mozarella and tomato sandwich.
Hannah settled into her work place and my parents and I went to pick Dimitri up at the train station before heading home.
Exhausted, waiting for our sandwiches
Hannah couldn't get out of the clip pedal fast enough and took a little tumble
That's it for now but stay tuned for some more news from Switzerland!
