Almost back to normal

Our streak of no lost baggage ended this weekend at almost 4 years. The last time the airlines lost something, it was Little Geek Girl's carseat in December of 2004. On Sunday, Zürich Daddy Geek's duffel bag decided to spend a little longer in Brussels than he did. Arrving at Zürich airport is usually a piece of cake, but dealing with the lost bag added an additional hour. LGG and I could have slept in. Oh well. (It turns out that the duffel bag was found without tags and it was delivered to the apartment on Monday morning).

Sunday was a lovely day to be outside and down by the lake we could see the Alps with their dusting of snow. However, ZDG was exhausted from his long travel day and he went to bed early and I tried to convince LGG to go to sleep. On Monday, ZDG and LGG went to the zoo to get some outside and sun time, and I caught up on my German homework and laundry. On Tuesday morning, LGG received her first of three vaccinations for tick-borne encephalitis and then we split up. I went to an exercise class and met a friend for lunch. ZDG and LGG had lunch and went up to the Uetliberg. After lunch I called ZDG and decided to join them at the top (this way LGG could have an additional hour of playing at the playground) and we walked down the Planet Walk a little bit and then down the steep trail to the tram, Nimmi's for yummy Indian/Sri Lankan food for dinner, and home. ZDG was shocked when an older woman on the tram actually opened a window for ventilation. The horror of fresh air!

ZDG returned to work yesterday, but he's still pretty tired. LGG helped me with grocery shopping and in the afternoon we went to a playground in the area we lived in when we first arrived. Last night was a pretty amazing rainstorm and this morning was overcast, so LGG and I had a stay at home day playing with Playdoh.
