There was a volleyball tournament a couple of my school friends were playing in on Friday. My plan was to get Ryan to meet some of them, and knowing they would love him, he would have a whole new set of things to do. It totally worked. He ended up playing on the team, and by the end of the night got invited to a pick up soccer game they play every Saturday. Success!
He played soccer on Saturday with everybody while I did a little homework. Lately, I think because the weather has gotten warmer, we've been more active. Plus, I recently got out my summer clothes and tried on bathing suits, so on Sunday I did some new workout dvd's and Ryan went for a bike ride! On his way home, he passed an area where boats offer rides/tours of the lake, and decided we should go. It was a great way to spend a Sunday.
The views were amazing. We're surrounded by mountains, but not the kind you'd think... when I thought about Switzerland I pictured stony mountains with snow on top. We have snow on top, but mostly our mountains are covered with lush greenery. I've been told by people here that we have some of the best weather in Europe. Obviously, I'm no expert on weather in Europe, but what I've experienced so far in Lugano is really close to perfect. And on Sunday, we took advantage... the sun was warm, the breeze off the lake was cool, and all we had to do was ride around and take pictures. It was pretty awesome.
We recently got really comfortable patio furniture... it's basically an outside couch. After the boat ride, we had dinner on our balcony. Most days are normal for us. But some days, I realize that right outside our door is what most people only see on vacation. That evening after dinner, we just laid back and watched the water. Let it soak in, before the normal-ness of the week started up again on Monday.
This post makes me want to go on vacation!
