Cote d Azur

Bonjour and hello from Antibes`! This is our third dqy in the south of france and I think we are in love! We had a wonderful few days hiking in the cinque terre and eating gelato twice a day. Things are going well here. We spent yesterday in Nice and today will be a beach day in the morning and tonight we are going to Monaco. Tomorrow we reserved a spot on a boat trip to St. Tropez. I am keeping up my Grecian tan and Linds is building her tan. We can`t believe we only have a few days left. Paris on Monday and then home on Friday. Definately loving a slower paced few days here in the Riviera. It`s a nive break from the crazy tour schedule we have had!

Alpine Air

Hello from Interlacken, Switzerland! Lindsay and I just got back from a day spent in the Lauderbrunnen Valley in the Swiss Alps! The mountains are absolutely georgeous. The past few days were spend finishing up Germany in Rothenburg, the cutest little medieval village ever, and Reutte. We got to see "mad" king ludwigs castles (which were the ones that disney based their castle off of). irt was incredible and so beautifully decorated and designed. The weather was also beautiful. We also got in a great 3 h ourhike in the austrailian Alps, which were the most beauti^ful mountains i have ever seen (until i got to switzerland yesterday). Last night we were tired froma lioong day on the train but we found Balmers hostel in interlacken which was like being back at a college frat party. it was canada day so we got to have some fun celebrating their independence day. Switzerland is wonderful, but we were a little shocked at how expensive it is here. We hit up the local co-op today and will be making our own dinner tonight. The next 2 days here we will hike around the mountains and take in the fresh alpine air. Then on July 5th we are so excited for Cinqe Terre. I can`t believe our trip is halfway over... it is just flying by.
