It's July 24th 2015, 4AM and i wake up with this thought "This is where Our Story begins.. how will it turn out? Will it be yet another hot day? Will the predicted thunderstorms play spoilsport?". Before the butterflies have a chance of taking a hold of my stomach, a calming Voice within says "Just be in the moment and enjoy each one as never before!". Thankfully I pay attention to the Voice..
Even Aishna foregoes her beauty sleep to share the morning with us. After all she's the sole representative of the Agrawal family here with me :)
Ruth and Terry arrive promptly at 5AM to have the morning cuppa with us and we head out to St Jost, a simple yet peaceful chapel in Ennetbürgen overlooking lake Lucerne. Terry and Anna have offered to be our chauffeurs for the day. As we start driving up the hill, the first orange-red hued rays of sunrise start lighting up the grey overcast skies. The view of the lake from the chapel is mesmerizingly calming. I feel a wave of chill down my spine and wonder if it's my bones rattling or is it really cold. We realize that none of us except Ruth is dressed in layers for the chilly morning.

It's the "Tantalizing 20th" for Aishna Today!
The "no-longer teenager" begins the day by accompanying us to Altdorf to pick up her cake baked by another 20 year old beauty: Simona.
Simona is a jeweler by profession and also loves to bake cakes for fun. Simona and her proud mother Bettina show us a thin crusted, creamy quark forest berry chocolate cake! It wins the best cake contest hands down.
I'm wondering if she'll offer baking lessons. It soon becomes increasingly difficult for me to drive with the cake and not dig into it already

Everyone is happy to have a leisurely morning after the hectic day yesterday.
Vikram accompanies Lukas to drop the drinks at the ships station. The rest of us are happy to gossip, watch Viikram's portfolio, munch on snacks. I'm amazed at our stomach's capacity to expand!
