the car adventure.

so, Thunfest 2009. was an awesome time that i spent with people that i won't be seeing again until december and my sister, vanessa. (since HERE she's old enough to go out and what not.) at around 2:30 we were so down to head home. we didn't ACTUALLY have an extra key, but knew that my grandparents hid one somewhere in the garage.

so we get home around 3 in the morning, mind you we made a few pit stops along the way, alcohol runs through my system like WOAH! so i park the car in the garage, pretty much wanna fall alseep at the wheel because i'm so tired, but force myself out of the car to go looking for the key. we start digging around and lift every box and dig around in every little container to look for the key in the small, little glass jar.

by 3:30 we STILL hadn't found the key and became desperate enough to try every door and window of the house to see if anything was unlocked, but my grandparents are good at locking everything, and everyone, out. so obviously we didn't find a way in. we considered sleeping outside until lightning lit up the sky, so we quickly made our way back into the garage.

so, what were our options?
1. sleeping in the rain.
2. sleeping on the garage, in the rain.
3. sleeping in the car.

of course we choose option 3., but the car wasn't exactly an RV, and i'm not exactly the shortest person. so i squeezed myself into the back seat while vanessa took the front. i slept through until 7:30, but vanessa thought i was going to die half the time due to the heat and the smell of gas in the garage, so she was always up and about. opening windows, opening the garage door so fresh, rain filled air, could get in etc. needless to say, she didn't sleep too much that night.

so yeah, that was an adventure. i woke up cramped and cranky and ended up taking a 9:07 train to bern. where we walked around the city until around 13:00. not only that, but we were also invited at our uncles for dinner, where i almost fell asleep at the table until he brought out the wine.

drove home and still didn't fall asleep until 22:30.

it was an adventure. and i'm not sure i would want to repeat it. well maybe if we had a RV instead of a 1993 Volvo S40...

only 5 more days in switzerland. and then again in 140 days with linda and jay!!!
