Haha, no. It's a brief overnight stop that happens to be at the end of a tourist train my wife really wants to do, I am not rich.
I plan to beg in the streets to afford my dinner.
I was talking about the heiress being rich. St. Moritz is....haute volee.

Back from my urology appointment. I left an hour early, in case I needed to pivot from the medical cab to a bus, and arrived with about an hour or so wait ahead of me. She must have had a cancellation because the urologist saw me an hour early. I walked the half mile to Burger King afterward. Despite not knowing my account or having the Burger King app installed on my new phone, I was able to set it up and login. I had $10 on my account, a free Whopper offer courtesy of Walmart, and added a chicken wrap to qualify for the offer. After eating, I walked over to the bus stop and within five minutes the bus had arrived. It's been a good morning.

Went to see the COral Reefer Band at Ravinia. My first lawn concert of the Ravinia season. At least Mac MacAnally does a decent job of playing the crowd. He's not Jimmy, but I don't think anyone who came expected him to be Jimmy. Also of note: I wore my Elliott Smith Didn't Kill Himself shirt and I found someone who noticed it because Smith's music helped her through college. Surprisingly, she didn't seem to register the "Didn't kill himself" part just below it.

Shopping in Lyon, France. I think all of France must be ready to melt.

Drinking coffee. I've been sleepwalking through today. I needed something to pick me up.

Cool. I didn't know they continued performing after Jimmy's death.

Taking a train to Switzerland - we are fairly new to traveling Europe by train and this is by far the most complicated travel day - two regional trains, one international and one bus. We started very early in case we miss a connection.
