IKEA ADVENTURES!

Nathan and I spent some quality time at IKEA upon arriving in Switzerland. We were tired of sleeping on the twin bed and my clothes were pretty disheveled in my suitcases. So we ventured over to the IKEA in Dietikon to get a new bed and some shelves.
To my great delight, they had real Swedes playing some music. Only in Switzerland...or maybe Sweden.
Nathan driving our rental van, it was a Ford.
We took another trip to IKEA a couple days later, and apparently lingered too long inside shopping and missed the bus to the train station. We had to walk about an hour to the train station so we could get home. We weren't the only ones that missed it, there were a couple guys we made friends with on the walk to the train station. That is Alex behind Nathan. I discovered on this trip that young Europeans like to find out how we Americans feel about Obama. He's a pretty popular topic here. It kind of makes me laugh to see them wearing Obama shirts, like they even voted. ha.

Nathan sleeping in our new bed. He really was sleeping.
Our bed makes into a lovely couch.
My clothes!
Our fancy light nathan craftily hung on the ceiling for us.
We even have a fan now that totally helps with the summer heat, since we have no air conditioning. We like our little student house and I am starting to feel at home in this little place.

I love IKEA and their Swedish meatballs! I must have missed this, but why are you guys living there? School? How long will you be there for?

Maybe Matt and I can come visit!
