Finally here, so let's have a little tour...

I arrived in Switzerland on Friday (Nov. 12) at about 7:40am local time. 
The flights were really great.  I was able to get a little sleep and watch Inception (interesting movie). 
Getting through passport control and customs was a breeze. 
Right past baggage claim I was met by an extremely hot Swiss Man (ok - he is Italian & Greek but Hot non-the-less).  It was Tom! Yippee!!!!
As to not drag this out too much...  We got my steamer-trucks (luggage) loaded into the car and headed to our new temporary home in Lausanne.  It's a cute, modern place, and it is a 3 minute walk to work for Tom.
Here are a few photos of the place:

The apartment has a really cool feature...the bathroom floor tiles are heated!

On Sunday, today, we decided to take the local bus system (clean, efficient, on-time, yikes...) into Lausanne Centre for a little walk-around.  The bus stop is right in front of Tom's Office...

Switzerland is like NJ (Bergen County) - everything except McDonalds and Starbucks is closed on Sunday.  It was beautiful, empty, and very peaceful.

Beautiful Hotel in Lausanne
At 2pm we were near a local church and a wonderful animated chime began to play...
Just a small update on my first few days here...
Miss you all!!
