Blogging is hard.

I have found it really hard to get enternet connection over here, so my blog is lacking and over due. I'm trying my best!


Switzerland: We stayed in a little place called grindlewald right at the base of huge mountains and a glacier. We hiked and saw some waterfalls, then went to church in interlaken the next day.  

Next we went to mittenwald, Germany. Spent the night. So quaint it felt like a movie set.  

Venice. So cool. One of the most unique places in the world. We went for a gondola ride. The guy stunk at singing. Shopped, went to the museum. Really hot.

Tuscany - we stayed in a little village in a small rental house it was in a vineyard/olive grove, it was really old and cool. But Les loved it the most because there was a pool. We visited the area around and went to a small village so isolated on a steep hill that you have to hike to it. civita di baggnoragio. Awesome. Firenze (Florence) was way cool, saw the David at the accademia museum, then the birth of Venus at the uffizi museum. So amazing. 

Rome! Went to the Vatican- st. Peters basilica, the Sistine chapel. Campo di fiori, attempted to see the roman forum, the Trevi fountain! Went to church the next day, testimony meeting, so cool.
 
Mom and dad left for Prague.

Saw the leaning tower of Pisa on our way to the coast.

Cinque Terra. So beautiful. Five towns in the cliffs with a beach at the end. 

Lake como. Pit stop on our way back into France.  

Alsace. Colmar. One of the most beautiful towns we have seen yet.

Time is going by so quickly. I can't even believe that we are still here. Six weeks is a long time. I am begining to feel homesick, my sister Nicole is due to have a baby girl any day now, so I am anxious to be with her. But everyday is a blast, every site is beautiful, every meal is delectible and yet I can't stop thinking about my nephew back at home. This is just a little preview for the mission I guess! Holy cow! That hurts to think about.

  1. I love the "mer cheese" story! mom is so funny, she was crying laughing when she told it to us! I cant believe all the beautiful things you are getting to see! Jare and I were talking and we think that you are going to get called on your mission in europe somewhere, the same thing happened to Jared! He went traveling in Brazil with his parents then went home and got called right back! So we think the same thing is going to happen to you! We miss you so much but are happy you are having such a good time. I cant wait to smother you in the last few weeks of summer before you go to school and on a mission!!!!What?!!! Your so old! I love you! No baby olive yet so your safe!
