Herzogenbuchsee, Bern, Luzern - Switzerland
Hallo! (one of the only words I learned in German. Well, that and 'Ja'.) Here are some photos from my visit to Switzerland. It was beautiful (as expected), green, had lots of cows (their bells were so melodic) and horses, and the cheese was amazing, but smelled pretty intense. I had a lot of fun visiting the Romers. We went to a chocolate factory and a cookie factory and they had to introduce me to the world of Swiss sweets, which is much better than it is in the U.S. I ate way too much chocolate (as expected), but it was worth every bite. I think I gained 1 kilo and some change while I was there, which I have come to know is actually 2.2 lbs. (My weight gain is pretty apparent in photo #7.) I'm learning the conversions slowly, but kind of surely.

great pics youie. sounds like a good trip so far. tony and i were just discussing how much of a difference it makes to go places where you already have friends or family. it makes traveling a lot easier and more fun to have friends that know their way around. sounds like when we finally save up enough money to go to europe, we'll have to take you with us (since you're getting so pro at conversions).
i've always wanted to go to switzerland. i'm glad you're getting the full experience--chocolate and otherwise.
funny fat picture. thank you for taking us along on your adventure.
Mimi says: Austin and I wondered how my ancestors could possibly leave such a beautiful place. We consoled ourselves by saying that it must be mighty cold in winter.
