Yes, alright, okay, I've failed again in keeping up-to-date with my blogs. Apologies all around. Things have, however, been rather busy on this side of the planet.
We went to Switzerland last weekend. Yes, that's correct: Switzerland. It's the only country in Europe that I've been to that is not in the European Union, and I think I may may now understand why. As it turns out, Switzerland can stand on its own two feet. I actually left Sevilla a day early to go to Milan and spend some time with Urte (she's studying there for the semester). It was so great, getting to see a familiar face from back home in a foreign land. Urte was an awesome tour guide, showing me all kinds of amazing places like The Duomo and the Castle, and taking me to eat and drink delicious things that evening.
Everyone else arrived in Milan mid-morning on Friday, and we all hopped on a train that would take us from Milano Centrale to our final destination! Granted, we actually had to change trains 3 or 4 times, and we kept accidentally sitting in 1st class, but we finally made it. Our group (there were 12 of us, can you imagine?) spent our long weekend in Interlaken, known for its geographical beauty and extreme sports. We got to experience plenty of both, especially the beauty. I loved, loved, loved Switzerland, and it is now a goal of mine to go back and explore the rest of it one day.
We took a couple of days to go exploring around the area - mountain bikes, four-wheelers, motos, what have you.
Our moto!
A lovely church in a different village.
Swiss chocolate... a little piece of heaven, if you ask me.
Group photo! I was really surprised that we managed to have such a good time since there were 12 of us all together. We really had a terrific group in Switzerland - lots of fun, lots of love, and no Debbie Downers!
