I've not had the change to update in quite a while. School is kicking my butt. But I have a break for the next two weeks which are dedicated to "Academic Travel" a special part of the Franklin curriculum that incorporates travel into every students schedule. My trip this semester takes me to Sicily with a group of about 25 students guided by a professor. We leave tomorrow morning, so this weekend has been relaxing.
The pictures are from various events. The Smart Car Rally was a school funded event that about 20 students participated in. We had to reserve a smart car and caravan with the others. We stayed 2 nights in a Swiss-German hostel in the town of Interlaken. We toured 4 towns--Interlaken, Bern (the Swiss capital), Neuchatel, and Freiburg. It was a lot of fun. My roommate and I got lost a couple times, but luckily I was smart enough to buy a map so in the end, we made it home safe and sound.
I'm not going to go into much detail, but ask any questions about the photos. Most of them should be pretty self explanatory.
Enjoy!
I'll be posting some Sicily photos along the way as well, soon to come.

Heh, Lydia, that smart car tour sounds like sooo much fun! Did you enjoy driving the car?
My computer was out of commission last week until Hertzel could get me a new monitor; Anyway I was happy to see your new photos on the blog when I checked. Your Mom had told me about your latest adventures.
Studying hard, . . . but you get to go to Sicily . . . that doesn't sound too bad. I could go for that. Aunt Jan
I love the photos; keep 'em coming. It's amazing to see the old architecture. America is so new and we don't even realize it!

yeah! We Americans don't have any of this "really, really old stuff." Some of these buildings date back to the early Medieval times, some before...
