I've had a love of Switzerland since I first visited 8 years ago and that has not changed. David and I joke about retiring in Geneva, and who knows if that is even in the realm of possible, but it is still appealing. I feel an affinity for the country and the people. I like the orderliness and structure, I love the beauty of the natural environment. I really enjoy the international cross roads with some many languages and cultures coming together.
Adam told me one day as we were walking that I could "be Swiss" if I just dressed a little more formally. (I don't think I could ever be mistaken for anything other than an American in Italy). This thought was reinforced in the airport when the customs official as me if I was resident in the US or Switzerland. I guess with my numerous passport stamps I fit the profile of an ex-pat American living abroad.
