Week 7

Canyoning in Interlaken, Switzerland

Last weekend I got the chance to go to Switzerland and go canyoning. Just Google canyoning and you will see what I got to do. It was super awesome! Probably the best experience thus far. It was an intense morning of going down a canon and jumping in ice cold water. There was a photographer there taking some pictures as we went through the mountain and Outdoor Interlaken (the company I did canyoning through) will mail me a cd with all the pictures on it and it has not arrived yet. I think you will have a better understanding of what I did until you see the pictures.

Switzerland is a beautiful country. If I had my choice of living anywhere in Europe... Switzerland would be my first choice. It doesn't feel very to touristy and it just has a home feel to it. There are a bunch of mountains and lakes all throughout the country... very beautiful. The cost of living there is very expensive and that would be the big down side. I highly recommend going to Switzerland for anyone that wants to travel Europe...yes even over Italy! Just my opinion.

The weekend we stayed pretty local and just went to Koln, Germany. It is a city that has a lot of rich German history and it was a great place to see. The cathedral (first picture) is huge and I enjoyed walking through it. It's as big or even bigger then the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. Koln is just a tourist town and some place you have to go see when you are in Germany. We were only there for a couple of hours. It has been pretty nice by staying local this weekend as I am getting a little sick of sitting in a train for hours on end during the weekends.

4 weeks left!

There are only 4 weeks left of my summer and I really hope to live for the moment here and appreciate what a blessing it is to be here. Camp is going well and I hope to make changes to make camp a little better for all involved. I really enjoy being a director and can really see myself grow as a leader. By the way my camp name is Mr. Incredible (from the Disney movie, The Incredibles) so it has been pretty fun to listen to kids call me Mr. Incredible all day long. =)
