Happy Birthday Lexi

Today was Lexi's birthday so after German class at Google, we went home and I cooked her dinner. Sausages, Mixed salad and fancy swiss semisoft cheese and bread with swiss red wine. The swiss wines have a very different flair than napa wines. Our red was a very light red, lighter than even a sangiovese, but was not at all a Rose wine. It's so much cheaper to buy swiss wine here that we have been drinking it pretty much exclusively when we have wine with dinner.

After dinner, we walked down by the Limmat river and had chocolate crepes. Then we headed over to an Big Ben Pub, a local English expatriate hangout. We had a few beers while we talked about ideas for building a poker theme for blogger, something Lexi's been thinking of doing for a while. There were a couple of Englishmen arguing about who was on the Chelsea team and who wasn't. Eventually they must of settled their argument as they struck up a Chelsea chant across the bar. We got back home pretty late and went right to sleep. It's been a lot easier to sleep through the night now that we have our fan. Apparently it's been a hotter than usual summer.

Oh. Today's pic is of a funky bike/car crossbreed that I saw on my way to german class. I've never seen anything like it in the states.
