Wyles in Zurich summer, 2010: the journey continues

The teenagers and Colton played hacky sack. Yofi fetched it from under Adinah’s car.

We shared the van with “Troy,” a very out-going, gregarious Mormon from Idaho who sold nutritional systems to health practitioners

After we cleared security (very quickly) Adinah wanted Wendys food (in addition to all the food we packed) so we stood in line.

Elisheva got sushi. I ate the veggie burgers I had packed. Simeon went hungry.

Sunday was a nice bright sunshiny day – good flying weather.

We were late taking off but the pilot tried to fly faster to enable us to make our connections in Amsterdam.

We wanted to have Simeon and Adinah sit in the exit row but FAA regulations forbid a strong, level-headed child from operating the exit door in case of an emergency. Only hysterical, weak older people may sit in an exit row.

Here is another view out the window. We sat in rows 20-22.
