Dear Family,
Got back today from a great week-end in Zurich. Herr
Raatz a teacher here recommended hitch-hiking as a way
a travel. So Bob Cullen and I hitch-hiked to Zurich.
Never had any problem. Most people who picked us up
were middle-aged business type men. Met some real nice
people. Exhausing though. Had to walk a long way in
cities to get to places where its easy & legal to stand. I
doubt if I'll do it again. Bruce is getting his car next weekend.
We (Bob & I) are going up with him to pick it up in Cologne.
Switzerland is tremendous. Beautiful country (Alps, lakes, rolling
green fields). We took a tour to a Mt. Rigi in the Alps. Mark
Twain wrote it is the most beautiful place he had seen. I agree
weather could be better. It's wet & pretty cold but OK. Yes, Bob
is Amy's beau. I really like the beer in Zurich. Travel
books say its crummy but I like it alot (its s'posed to be weak)
I got slightly affected by the beer Sat. night. I'm so rowdy (sp.)
Not really Mom. Zurich has neat huge river in the middle.
Arch is real old & neat. I like Switz better than Germ.
so far. Slower pace. Anybody want a watch?
Krauters have one son, Fritz (22 yrs) works in Sttuttgart.
So does Mr. Krauter. Mrs. Krauter born & raised in Beutelsbach.
Her sister & brother live on the same street. She made
Bob & I raspberry kuchen. Yum! They still very nice
but it's kind of boring having to think of things to talk about
all the time. I go about 2-3 times a week. I bought
some good warm shoes with natural fur inside -- don't look
great, but I like them (I also hate shopping) $23 [drawing of a shoe, with arrow to buckle]
U.S. dollars. Nicht so cheap, but I don't know.
It's very hard to getting into a studying frame of mind,
after going away on a weekend. I am having fun.
We are taking a train to Rome. They pay for your fare
back — give you a few days to come back. | 1Sunday, 21, Jan
