Hello from Switzerland

If there happen to be typos in this post... I am currently typing on a German keyboard. It is not as bad as the French keyboard I tried to use last night though. So, at least I am moving in the right direction.

We have been lost. A lot. Today, we were trying to get to Interlaken (Switzerland) and it involved two unexpected trains, and a lot of time spent in Cluses, France. Was that anticipated? No. Was it fun anyway? Well... To a point. It was fun. But it also involved being harrassed by a very, very drunk man who kept switching from French to English, and then looking really confused when we had no idea what he was talking about. Oh, and it also involved me being asked to coffee by a French man. Well... I am about 95% sure that that was what he was saying... He was speaking rapid French (and zero English) and kept pointing to the cafe down the street saying "Café! Café!"

Yesterday involved an impromptu hotel in Lyon, France and a trip to the pharmacie because my teeth were killing me. I was really really angry about that.... However, the Lord is good and answered my prayers and my teeth havent hurt at all today. Yay!

I have picked up a little bit of French from listening to people for the last two days.... Except now I am in Switzerland and most people are speaking in German, which I do not speak at all. Hopefully, Ill pick some of that up too while I am here.

So far, one of my favorite places is Avignon. It is in France, and is quite beautiful. You should look it up. Otherwise, Geneva is overrated and Interlaken is wonderful. I think tomorrow we are going to do some hiking, and I think I am going to get some really good photos. I hope so, anyway. :)

Alright... Ill update you some more later.

Besos de Switzerland,

Ally
