Swiss Update #3…

A wise man once said that there must need be opposition in all things. A more simpler guy probably said everyone has ups and downs. During our last week of the schooling session of Switzerland I managed to misplace my camera on train and ended up losing about 3-4 days worth of pictures. The pictures are a sad loss, but more depressing is the loss of the camera. Ryan and Mckenzie know too well how much Digital SLRs costs and I just hope we find it before the trip comes to an end. Luckily I bought Tiffiney a point-and-shoot before we left so we had means of taking photos for Paris and Belgium.

We'll always have Paris and after looking through our collection of pictures we'll always have plenty shots of the Eiffel Tower proving we were there. It was a hectic two days getting as much in as we could but Tiffiney kept up with me until we got to a more relaxed area with my parents in Belgium. As mentioned before we saw the Eiffel Tower but we also went to the Louvre museum, Notre Dame cathedral, Arc de Triomphe, etc. In Belgium we visited the Atomium, the small town of Brugge, and the Grand Plaza in Brussels.

Anyway enough with the chatter, just enjoy the pictures…

Swiss Update #2

Enjoy some more pictures! We have been all over the place and still have one more week of museums, cathedrals and then it is off to Paris...

Here are some video clips of our travels. First are the Cow Fights that take place up in the Alps. They gather muscled pregnant cows and they compete for their space with the others. It is somewhat of a hit and miss when they get upset enough to run down their competition, but Tiffiney got some good shots of a few that fought for quite some time. It is just another excuse to gather friends and have a barbeque cause I never found out which team won! The second clip is Tiffiney riding on our favorite park toy. It is like a merry-go-round, but with pedals so it is like riding a bike in circles until you throw up...

Swiss Update #1…

Well the community computers are hard to get time on, especially since we are so busy traveling from place to place so many of updates will be brief, but the pictures should give you an idea of our travels. We arrived on the 2nd of June and in 5 days have already gone to 2 castles and some ancient ruins, lived with monks in the monastery, and snow shoed the Alps in both Switzerland and Italy. It has been a blast and very tiring but worth every moment. When I get more time I will tell you more, but enjoy the pictures for now…
