All White People Look Alike...They Just Look Better in Europe

Hello friends and family! We have survived our first week and are having a wonderful time, quarters are cramped, we have developed our own strategies for eating and getting ready in shifts, it is really quite efficient.

We are now in Switzerland and my topic today was confirmed, while all white people look alike, Europeans are more beautiful than the rest of the us. I have been here over a week and have yet to see a pimple or hair out of place. Also, no one sweats. Now it is about 85-90 degrees with about 80% humidity. We are sweating walking up part of a hill to go to a museum and a pregnant woman who walked up the entire hill in the alps, pushing a stroller in heels arrives without being the slightest bit winded or having a drop of sweat. Now I know that this is because they walk everywhere from birth and ride their bikes through the mountains by age 5, but the effect is stunning. The other idea that I had was that it was all of the mineral water that they drink. It is next to impossible to find wasser stil, almost all of the water sold and consumed is mineral water.

Not to say that all Europeans are physically perfect. Some have bad teeth and other have bad hair (mullet man will be posted at a later date). However, these imperfections do not hold them back a bit. They wear them as badges of pride, a lesson that could be learned by all....

By the way, today was the first day of using the TomTom, it was beautiful, we named her Gretel, as she drops breadcrumbs to show us the way!

Next up....bathrooms of Europe.
