Cross Country ISST's were scheduled for Zurich again, and once again over my birthday. We decided to make a family weekend of it, to support our runner and celebrate my birthday Swiss style. It was the perfect family getaway in every way. Despite the pretty miserable rainy conditions Madeleine and the girls ASL cross country team really brought their A-game. Madeleine came in 5th overall! The ASL girls took home gold winning the overall meet! It was an amazing day, and I didn't mind standing in the rain all day on my birthday. The rest of the weekend was spent exploring a bit of Switzerland. It's often a damp, cloudy place. But somehow it glowed in the very best way in the low light of late autumn.
We got in early enough on our arrival day that we had a chance to do a bit of exploring, so we went to the charming town of Zug. Truly Switzerland at its finest.

Last night in Zurich. I was pretty sick this weekend and the worst of it hit this night as I tried to drug myself up and make the most of our time there. I was exhausted!
