Finally Arrived in Switzerland!

I survived the 9 hour flight quite well!! I slept most of the way, and it was a very peaceful flight. When I arrived at the Zurich airport, I had no idea where to go....I picked up my luggage and was sooo confused! I started asking some of the Delta employees but they had no idea what I was saying...one guy smiled, shook his head and walked away! Haha! So I finally started to follow some others that seemed to know what they were doing, and I finally found my tour manager Oliver! He is sooo cool, nice, helpful and accommodating.

Right away Oliver took me into the city and showed me around, we stopped at this wonderful street market that had a HUGE stock pile of vintage clothes and hats!! The currency over in Switzerland is the Swiss Frac, its pretty close to the American dollar, so I don't see it being too confusing! Oliver took some pictures of me in the city and these two Swiss girls came up and got in the photo with me...it was so cute! I like the fact that everyone here is very friendly and helpful, especially since I don't speak the language at all! Oliver will be teaching me some and I'm sure the kids at school will have a fun time trying to get me to speak German too!
I went to Switzerland's biggest shopping mall today and was pretty impressed. It was a very nice sized mall...it had some stores I've never heard of that i cant wait to check out! The greatest part  about the mall was they allowed dogs inside all of the stores (except the grocery part). It's something i wished the states had...I would bring my little Hollywood everywhere! Europe is so dog friendly you can even bring your pet to dine with you at restaurants, how amazing is that?! I got to meet Oliver's puppy, DIVA! Diva and Hollywood :-)

Tomorrow we have rehearsal for most of the day, we have a lot to get prepared for. I can't believe my tour starts on Monday, I already had kids from the Swiss schools writing to me on how excited they are to see me. I'm also in a Swiss magazine and have a awesome write up too! (too bad I can't read German!!)

I almost forgot to mention how amazing the chocolate is....it is seriously the BEST thing ive ever tasted. The chocolate looks like little hamburgers too!

I'm a little jet lagged so I must get to bed...busy day tomorrow :-)
XOXO
