Wengen-Murren Valley, Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland :D

      Mountains, green fields, alpine forests, waterfalls, crystal lakes...what is there not to like?
It's beautiful, and the sound of the waterfall nearby is wonderful with the cool breeze blowing through valley. We have a little local orchestra/band practicing in a building opposite ours, a great addition to the ambiance! Our hotel is a little one, the room is lovely and our balcony is too cute! I'm proud that I can pronounce the names here like the locals! Hotel Staubbach is pronounced [Shtow-bahk]. ;) Our train ride here from Zurich was beautiful, green fields rolling out around us! I forgot my camera cord at home -_- so I'll post my pictures and videos in...3 days? Yes. Well...for now (since my battery is dying) this is it! See you guys tomorrow!

Itinerary for 1 European Month

ITINERARY

I think the title of this blog is saying enough, but I'll continue anyways.
This blog is for you all to see where I'll be, and what I'll be doing while I'm spending a month in Europe. I'll be posting photos and explaining what I did in that country as often as possible, which means whenever I'm confident the electricity flow is stable before I plug in my laptop. ; )
So, in order of when I'll be there, here are the countries I'll be going to:
  1. Switzerland
  2. England*
  3. Rome, Italy
  4. Paris, France
  5. Ireland
  6. Scotland
  7. London, England-specifically
In between each I'll stop at home--I'll be hosted by my generous aunt who invited me out there--in England. So postings should be up every 2-3 days at the minimum, perhaps a few videos if I feel inclined to bring a video camera. We'll see! And I'm doing all of this....out of one small suitcase. : D The minimalist in me is proud. Wish me luck guys!

*England will be a particular treat for me, since I was born and lived there until I was 3 yrs. old. I can remember castles my parents brought me to when I was only a few months old! I think I went to Dover when I was 8 or 9 months old. It'll all be very nostalgic!
