... quite that long). I got some sleep last night so I am feeling better and I'm meeting some fun people to hang out with. Seeing that this camp is located in the Alps, there are plenty of outdoorsy people here, so I should have no problem finding people to hike the trails with. I will write more later, but I wanted to check this facebook blog thing out and see how it works!

... at this time? I haven't before. I've met other people with similar names to Francesca before. Francesca is probably Nick's age, 18 or 19. She's a reminder to me for some reason. Now, what is that purpose? Why do I need a reminder of my first love at this time? Since I've written my "Right Back Where I started From! " entry I've been thinking about the book, The Alchemist, by Paulo Coehlo. That book is a fable about searching for our ...

... how are you....we end up having a 6 way conversation about all sorts of things. the two guys are pilots in the marines and stationed in Germany and have leave and are doing a bit of traveling. great convos, but the an obnoxious group next to us is playing this horrible drinking game, remi, remi, 1, 2, blah blah, smack, bang on table yelling loud, etc. start smoking in the inside area and aren't supposed to be etc. clearly drunk. so security has to tell them to chill out and ...

hi everyone i have 10 minutes to write this, so it will be super quick. i had a great time in austria, walking around the city. the architecture is gorgeous, and i spent the day roaming the streets and i toured the schmetterling haus, or the butterfly house (i thought of you, julie). after vienna we toured a concentration camp, which was a very intense ...

... and Europe in general, they're more into the whole personal responsibility thing, which allows the to have diving boards in the middle of the lake. (The idea being that if you hurt yourself you won't sue the city like in the U.S.) This of course made us very happy. We had been inadvertantly training for this at the Degallier's pool all summer, and we definitely took this ...

Marie and Matt have made it to the Alps!!! Yay. And its still hot even though we can see snow on some of the peaks. The city is in a beautiful setting with the mountains and lake, plus a full moon that completed the perfect image. This was pretty much a stop to relax a little and take it all in. We walked around the town for a while and visited a stone monument called the "Dying Lion ...

... German....etc flags and cool designs and boy did we ever look like a big bunch of crazies. We took the train from Baden to Zurich to go experience the Zurich Street Parade. This is Zurich's version of the Berlin Love Parade, but the Zurich one has gotten bigger and bigger over the years and now gets twice as many people as the one in Berlin. There were 800000 people there, all dressed up in crazy, colourful costumes. It was SOOOOO incredibly hot that day too, like 35°C, and there was ...

... us to the display case in the lobby. "Now this one here is kind of a light, fluffy high. It'll definitely work for you but won't send you overboard. This one over here is in the medium range. It's a great hallucinogen. You'll see all sorts of great visuals. And this one here is more of a mind trip. You'll kind of question reality, your head will race, it's kind of strong and weird." I was fine with either of the first two, but May really wanted what we immediately called the ...
