Weekend

This weekend was the first weekend of summer for my cousins:)

On Friday my friend and I went thrift shopping. We got a little bored... So we imitated the birds above us.

Then that evening I made a Wahe with my grandma, it turned out very yummy.

 I tried to take a selfie with her, and this is what happened:

On Sunday we went to Schaffhausen, a town about an hour's drive away from Adliswil. There was an old monastery there, and about 40 volunteers were living there like people used to 400 years ago. It was amazing.
There was also a museum, and Gage really liked the parts where he was able to try on actual armor. Like chainmail:

 And a helmet:

The best part of the day was watching people actually jousting. There were about 8 people from various places around the world who came specifically for the jousting. Jousting is their (very expensive) hobby, and they used correctly made armor, lances, and swords, exactly like a long time ago, when tournaments such as this one were held in exactly the same spot.

Language class day 5

Today we had class in the morning and a short cooking class in the afternoon. In the language part of the class we had to write two short paragraphs about ourselves and about our hometown. The tricky part was doing it in German... I think my teacher liked mine though, so that's good.

In the cooking class we made a traditional Swiss dish that I don't remember the name of... It was made with potatoes, noodles, ham, carmelized onions, and apples with carmelized sugar. It sounded horrible, but it was surprisingly good.

After class, my three friends and I decided to go to a design museum right next to where the school is. It was called the Museum für Gestaltung. It had a video about the particle accelerator in Germany (i think) and my friends and I got all excited because that's close enough to possibly visit, which would be super cool.

Then after dinner, I went over to my cousin's house, and I met three cats along the way. It was adorable.

Language class day 3

Today I got up early again and went to Zurich for my language class. We sat in class for 4 long hours, then we were freed.

One of my friends wanted Mcdonalds, but we couldn't figure out how on earth to get there. We tried for about 10 minutes to plan out a route using the trams, then we gave up and just decided to hop on a tram and go wherever it would take us. We ended up passing a Mcdonalds anyways, so that worked out perfectly. We also stopped at Starbucks because why not.

Then we were bored, so we wandered over to what is called the "Landesmuseum", which is a museum about Swiss history. 

There was a bobsled that you were allowed to climb into, so my friend and I decided to...

There was some pretty cool stuff there:

So that was my day! :)
