The tar in the street starts to melt from the heat
And the sweats runnin’ down from my hair
I walked 20 miles and I’m dragging my feet
And I’ll walk 20 more I don’t care
And I’ll wander this world, wander this world
Wander this world, wander this world all alone
I’m like a ghost some people can’t see
Others drive by and stare
A shadow that drifts by the side of the road
It’s like I’m not even there
And I’ll wander this world, wander this world
Wander this world, wander this world all alone
Well I’ve never been part of the game
The life that I live is my own
All that I know is that I was born
To wander this world all alone, all alone
Some people are born with their lives all laid out
And all their success is assured
Some people work hard all their lives for nothin’
They take it and don’t say a word
They don’t say a word
Sometimes it’s like I don’t even exist
Even God has lost track of my soul
Why else would he leave me out here like this
To wander this world all alone
And I’ll wander this world, wander this world
Wander this world, wander this world all alone
–Jonny Lang, “Wander This World”

The next morning we woke up early to make our 945AM Covid test appointments on an otherwise lowkey Zürich day. The COVID tests were administered all over Switzerland, with ample testing centers throughout Zürich that one could schedule in advance. Our appointment was at the National Museum, although there appeared to be a test center…
We decided to grab a snack, per our guide’s recommendation, at a local wiener joint called Sternen Grill, before enjoying the scenery of Lake Zürich. Although we weren’t quite sure what we ordered, what we got was good – an extra-long sausage you dip in spicy mustard and eat directly, no bread delivery mechanism. Warning:…
We kicked off the next day with a cappuccino and latte at a coffee shop in the old town. to fuel us through our Zürich day tour. Our morning by design, was leisurely, and as we were not changing cities every single day, and we could actually treat this like a vacation. With our cappuccinos…
The next morning we took it pretty easy as we prepared to travel from Luxembourg to Switzerland. The night before we did some COVID testing with the kits we brought with us, and both tested negative – we did this simply for piece of mind, prior to travel. Take a look at our gorgeous, negative,…
