I made it Switzerland
Dear Friends,
Thank you so much for your prayers upon my departure. Everything went fine even though I worried entirely too much. I made it to London with out any problems. I was supposed to have an 8 hour layover in London. I thought that I would use this time to wonder around the city, but I was going to have to take all my luggage with me. So I asked to be put on an earlier flight and they did, for a fee. So I arrived in Switzerland about 6 hours early.
The part I was concerned about was how to get from the airport to where I was staying. I called the only number I had. A Swiss woman answered to I was forced to speak my broken French with here. I was relieved when Chef Wolfisberg got on the phone and spoke excellent English. He said someone would be right there to get me, that was such a blessing.
Here is my room that I will call home for the next three months.
So today I was able to have a tour of Geneva and see Lake Geneva. It is absolutely breathtaking. The city is so picturesque. I am going to love it here.
Can I just say that I hate Swiss keyboards? Some of the letters are switched and it makes typing very difficult. I am going to have to learn how to do this all over again. I guess that comes with the territory of traveling.
Communicating is definitely going to be a challenge. The family I am staying with speaks English, and Spanish, and Itlaian, and German and French of course. I am so amazed. I feel like an idiot for only being able to speak English and that is not even great all the time.
But the people I will be working with speak mostly French. So I better learn it really fast or just figure out how to communicate other ways. Oh well, its an adventure right?
Thanks again for your prayers. I miss you all already.
Jennifer
