Switzerland may be my favorite place that I've ever been! Interlaken was wonderful-especially on Swiss Day! As soon as we arrived on Sunday the celebrations were already in full force. We went to see the parade downtown and had a Brat and a Swiss beer. We walked around after the parade and did a little shopping. I bought a Swiss Hat and t-shirt to wear for the rest of the day! When we got back to our hostel- Balmers- the party had begun! We met so many awesome people from all over the world. The party went on until eventually I just had to go to sleep! Yesterday was a little slower-it was rainy. Not too much to do in the "outdoor capital of the world" in the rain. Sarah and Maggie went canyoning and loved it! Carolyn was going to paraglide, but her trip was cancelled due to the rain. Carolyn and I went on a boat ride on Lake Thun. It was gorgeous. We hung out at the hostel for the night and made new friends!
Maggie and I got up early this morning and are on the train to Geneva! The guy sitting with us is from Geneva and he's so cool! The views on the train are incredible-so many pretty mountains, lakes and farms!

update!
Ahh! Sorry I have gotten so behind with my blog! We have been doing so many fun things and have been so busy! I have it all written down in my journal though-in way more detail than anyone will ever even want to know! I will also probably tell you all about everything way too many times, so you won't miss out!
We are currently on the train between Italy and Switzerland. I am so sad to be saying goodbye to Italy after spending one of the best months of my life there! We travelled to Cinque Terre, Positano, Capri, the Amalfi Coast, Greve, Rome,Lake Como, and of course spend a lot of time in Florence. Florence was incredible-our apartment, classes, night life, food-everything about it couldn't have been better! Yesterday we spent the day in Cadenabbia on Lake Como and it was great! We went to Bellagio for lunch and then went to our hotel pool for the afternoon! The pool was right on the lake-people were jumping from the pool deck into the lake! I didn't swim, but Maggie did and said the water was cold! We ate at a crowded local pizzeria and enjoyed our night in Lake Como! We were up early this morning and have taken 2 ferry rides and are on our second train, with one more still to come. It is SWISS DAY today so we are anxiously awaiting our arrival in Interlaken!
