We have returned to San Francisco from an amazing 2.5 weeks in Switzerland. This was a very emotional trip for me, in the wake of my grandmothers death...we spent a lot of time with family and exploring the beautiful cities of Zürich, Interlaken, Basel, Lucerne and Lugano. Most of the trip was insanely hot but we managed to enjoy #RigiKulm, the infamous #kappelbrücke of Lucerne, a dip in the Rhine, pretty much all the apfelwähe and aprikosenwähe I could find, the 350th anniversary of my grandmothers orphanage (and subsequently finding her birth certificate in an almost 100 year old record document in the archives of Basel-Stadt) and of course the incredible Greenfield Festival in Interlaken. Everything you have ever heard about Switzerland is true - its lush, incredible scenery and laser focus on the sciences and arts are inspiring to me. Learned a lot about my heritage on this trip, and it helped to heal the sorrow in my heart for my grandma. Truthfully, I didn’t even want to come back. But there’s a renewed fire in my mind to live to the fullest here and continue on in her spirit - the spirit of the Tiger Queen. #switzerland #welovebasel #artmusiclovelife
