Swiss cheese!

Last week Aaron and I took another vacation, this time to Germany and Switzerland (yes, I am still doing schoolwork. I find time to squeeze it in between the travelling :)

We met up with my friend Crystan in Germany, who so graciously let us stay at her place, baked muffins and brownies for our trip, and took us grocery shopping for imported American stuff (yay for reasonably priced contact solution, microwave popcorn, and batteries!). Then all three of us hit the Autobahn in Crystan's very cute convertible Mini Cooper, and a few hours later we were in the Swiss Alps!

So, what did we do in Switzerland? Well, we.....hey....wait...what's that in the sky?

It's a bird!


It's a plane!


It's me hang-gliding! Yay! It was scarier than I thought it would be, but also just absolutely amazing. If you'd love to know what it feels like to fly...you should try it. I'll have more pictures soon from when I was in the sky; I just need to get them developed.

Other pictures of the breathtaking beauty of the alps:


(and some pictures of me and Crystan pretending to be angry abominable snowmen)




After Switzerland, we headed back to Germany and checked out the very cute city of Heidelberg.

There are more pictures from Heidelberg (the castle, the views) but I am getting tired of uploading pictures. And you're probably sick of looking at them. So that's all for now!
