And on the 46th Day, God said, let there be Mexcian food

You'll never ever ever guess what we had for dinner. Okay you might, but yeah, Interlaken, Switzerland has 1 Mexcian food restaurant, and now my taste buds are happy that they finally got some deliciously spicy food in the form of enchiladas and chips and salsa. So, I am now completely and utterly content. Oh Mexican food, how I missed you.

Anyway, on to a much more boring note. Switzerland is freaking amazing. We started our trip in cold, rainy Bern as you know, but now we are in Interlaken. Yesterday when we got here we went out driving around and literally stumbled upon a cavern inside of the mountains where all the glaciers melt and flow down through the mountains into the streams you find everywhere. That was really awesome. I can't even find words to describe it, maybe walking around inside of a cool natural bridge caverns but with waterfalls and pools of water everywhere? Not really, but that was really something. Then we drove a bit further down the rode and took a cable car up (rather 4 cable cars) up into the Alps and ended up on top of a mountain above the few clouds there were looking out in every direction on mountains, valleys, green and snow, small towns and lakes and so on and so on. That was also something, it was such a beautiful and clear day you could see for kilometers and kilometers. That phrase doesn't work as well as miles and miles, but when in... Switzerland. Anyway, that was one heck of a things to see day.
Today was pretty cool, but it wasn't quite as clear as yesterday so we didn't get views of the same caliber as yesterday. We mostly just drove around for a while, then we found another cable car and took it up another mountain but this time we hiked about half of the way back down before we got back on the cable car. That was a lot of fun, we hiked through some cow pastures and through some really pretty mountainy countryside (I think that contradicts itself, but it makes sense to me) and got really annoyed at all the cows with bells around their necks. And well, some other less interesting stuff happened after that, like sleeping and shopping, but the best part of the day was the Mexican food. That's sad, when food makes my day and I'm in Switzerland? But, oh well, it was delicious, and I'll leave it at that.

I hadn't considered the possibility of not having Mexican food readily available over there. I'm glad you were able to find a place to satisfy your cravings. I know I'd be stressed if I had to go 46 days without an enchilada fix!
