a long first day


Today (and yesterday, I suppose) were spent traveling to Zug, Switzerland. I left MSP international at 9:25pm on Monday and arrived in Amsterdam, Netherlands at just before 1:00pm local time. After hanging around the Amsterdam airport a little bit, browsing the endless supply of duty free shops, and wondering why on earth there isn't a single bench/chair to be seen, I made my way to my gate. At 3:30, my flight left Amsterdam and arrived in Zurich an hour and a half later. A 40min train ride to Zug left me in the middle of town, where I caught a taxi to my final destination.

After a quick stroll around town (quick enough to realize that walking to dinner would take forever), Jon and I hopped on bikes and rode just 2mi into town where we ate at a small pizza shop overlooking Zug Lake and a very large birdcage (expect pictures of this later).
