So We are in Lucerne today. I slept fabulously for some reason and we have spent the day wandering the city and taking it all in. The place is beautiful and I could eat enough chocolate to warrant the buying of an extra plane ticket to seat my rolls! Everything is VERY expensive though and the Franc is confusing to convert for my budget that is written in Euros :) We visited a way cool wooden bridge today which actually got fairly well destroyed in a fire exactly 14 years ago to the day. I would have to say though the chocolate is the BEST part well and the beautiful Alps like scenery.
Tomorrow we are taking a pricey tour which involves 90 minute boat ride around the lake... hoping for smooth waters and then some hiking, gondola riding, tram riding, train riding, and view of the town from very high up! It should be fun.... for the price it better be. Internet costs a bundle here so you may not get as many updates and personal emails willl probably go neglected just so you know Switzerland

 ! There is not much other news from the day it was mainly a self guided tour day and we may try some fondu tonight then one of our groupies has an interview at 9pm our time so we can#t have too crazy a night :)

OH! I did get to try a swiss playground. So far I have seen/tried one in every country. The slide was very strange I will have to show you all pictures when I return.
Personal Message to the second best Karen in the world- I think it is around your birthday sooo happy birthday and I will enjoy some swiss chocolate in your honor :) I would bring you some but it would be destroyed by the time I next see you :)

I hope you are all well and I will try to update you again tomorrow if I can stomach spenting like 3 dollars per 30 minutes to write... If not there will be back dated updates whenI get to Italy! Much Love!

From second best karen
Thanks for eating chocolate in my honor...maybe you could eat 50 pieces, one for each year. It was a good birthday and Cody bought me an IPOD. Now if I were only technical enough to learn how to use it right. I guess I will have to get help from Cameron. Sounds like your trip is going great! Have fun\
