... spent in Gimmelwald would likely seem like an eternity. Unless those Gimmelwaldians are loose with the alcohol and their money in a card game.<br><br>We passed a barn and my friend ducked her head in to get a whiff and notified me that she loved the smell of barns. Now there's a little fact I wished I'd known in advance. The reason? Well, it just so happens that in many of the small Alpian villages you can actually pay to sleep in the ...

... International Bureau of Education, but just ending up using their reception phone to call people, and then was given a new e-mail address to send my request to. (Friday night I started my ISP work log and realized I have sent out 31 different e-mails trying to get interviews). After interview begging I went to the UN library to prepare for my interview the next day, and afterwards my friend Molly and I went to a piano recital at the UN put on ...

We were then supposed to take an overnight train to Bern Switzerland but I managed to **** that up royally and booked the train to Berne Germany, which is in the opposite direction... Jon was not impressed... and I only realized this 1 hr before our 10 pm train. So after hours of trying to rent a car (impossible during Oktoberfest) we got really lucky and found a car that needed to be returned to Switzerland anyways. So after a full day of ...

... sports centre Grindelwald Sports AG in the town centre. The afternoon we spent practicing heel-edge and toe-edge as safe and easy ways of getting down the mountains. Once we all had this comfortably under our utility belt of skills it would allow us to gracefully decline a mountain face as if a leaf falling from a tree; backwards and forwards, side to side. The final portion of our tuition which ...

Really! I did! I skied! I only fell down twice, but one of those times was trying to learn how to parallel turn, as opposed to the "pizza" turning I had been doing, and was rather good at. My instructor, a young Swiss man named Matthias (cute, but not throw down in the snow cute), said I was an excellent student, because I wasn´t afraid to try. I didn`t break anything, but my left ankle/shin muscle issue is still ...

... down to the lakes, parked and walked around for a while. Had an ice-cream and resumed our sitting some more. The sun has been fabulous today and we have a bit of colour, it is Robs mission to be tanned, trim and gorgeous by the end of our travels, I am thinking just tanned is realistic at this point. 13/8/07 Day 15 Today we did do Bern, as always the Swiss transport system in minute accurate so a bus to Interlaken, a train to Bern and there we were. Not taking our passports ...

Our hostel is like a giant summer camp with all amenities and no reason to leave...so we didn't. We arrived and sat down to have a beer and ended up staying all night (due to the rain of course...) and when we woke up in the morning it had been pouring all night so all of the daily activities had ...

... and is a snowboard instructor from Slovakia of all places. So we hang out in Zurich for the day (despite the fact I wanted to explore by myself!!! But am to kind to tell him this) We had a great day and saw all of the city in under 4 hours. It is truly beautiful and is now on my list of places to visit again in the future for a nice weekend away!!! We bid each other farewell as he goes off to catch his flight back to JoBo, we exchange email address's and he ...

... at the shooting range in the distance (Swiss law; be prepared). Had dinner with Monika's parents, who are very sweet. Great meal. Had drinks and coffe with friends of Monika; typical conversation about why the US is awful. (But we're from Berkeley, we know that.) But also talked about photography and art and music as well as the US military.
