Today I woke up early to pick up Kevin but, I did not go directly there. I scheduled time for a one hour layover in Zürich Hauptbahnhof. While there I attempted a time lapse video which is still in the making. After picking Kevin up, we took the train back to the restaurant in Stäfa. I then promptly packed the remaining items and left for Wil. Wil is a city in the Swiss canton of St. Gallen. I am going to take a little time today to talk about cantons as I have not really explained them well. In Switzerland there are twenty six [26] cantons which are like our states in the United States. Within each canton there are different gemeinde which are like our counties. Then there are towns/cities in the geminde such as our cities. [Swiss Example: Canton: Zürich; Gemeinde: Stäfa; Town: Stäfa / American Example: Canton: California; Gemeinde: Los Angeles County; Town: Los Angeles] When I arrived in Wil there was a family friend waiting in the train station. We then promptly left and stopped off to go shopping before going to her house. When we arrived I assisted in picking some Johannisbeeren, also known as currants, to make into a jam. Later in the evening we left to go to her friend's house where we cooked dinner and relaxed for the evening before taking on our hiking adventure tomorrow.
