Swizterland!!!!!!!!

Hello everyone! and a special hey hey to our buddy Claudio from Winterthur, Switzerland!!

We arrived here on Monday and have been having a wild time. We are staying with a friend that we met in Calgary a year ago. He was coming through and couch surfing on another friends' couch when we met him. Now here we are visiting him!! Here he is BBQing us some food:
Between hanging out with Claudio and his great friends (and always drinking a few too many beer and getting rowdy) we have been able to take in some Swiss sights. This is the Rhine River Falls:
On a day trip to Zurich, we ran across Zwingli's church!! Zwingli was a reformer during Martin Luther's time. He was responsible for the reformation in Switzerland. This is the church that it all happened in:
Some Swiss Chalet's anyone?
A typical street in the old part of the city of Bern. We spent an afternoon here in the rain.

So between sight seeing and drinking beer, Claudio has been very hospitable and let us shower and eat and do laundry and catch up on email. He's also shown us how to party... We spent an impromptu night in St. Gallen when we had a good time with some friends and the city's fountains.

Tomorrow we are off to Germany to take in the many, many sights there. Thanks for reading everyone, and thanks for everything Claudio!!
