So… since I last wrote, we visited Munich… and were given some stinking huge (ie 1L) beer steins from Oktoberfest. They are pretty heavy so I’m not sure how people managed to life them with beer in them. Thanks to Elisabeth for bringing them back to Canada for us so we don’t have to lug them around for the next month and a half.
Then it was off to see Liz in Freiburg for 2 nights and we got to see where she is at uni this year. Its a pretty city and I think she’ll be just fine… 😉 We also got to go to church in English!!
From there it was on to Switzerland. Switzeland = Very cool, lots of mountains and fabulous chocolate! Thanks Heidi and Elisabeth for letting us hang out! Heidi very nicely drove us around and over 2 2000m+ mountain passes and to a huge glacier then over to Lucerne and then Liechtenstein. That was pretty cool. We ate Raclette (sp?) and reminisced about college days. Elisabeth put us up for 1 night and showed us parts of Lausanne – Roman ruins, the lake, part of downtown…
Then it was a 7+ hour train to Nice. That is where we are now. Haven’t seen much of the city yet, but we will over the next few days. Tomorrow maybe we’ll got to Monaco and try to make some money to finance the rest of the trip…!
