FIRST THREE DAYS IN SWITZERLAND

I thought I would break up the trip to Switzerland so it didn't get too long and laborious. Our sight seeing in Zug (where Emalei lives) was at night and the pictures were too dark to post. We did walk to the grocery store but the rest was just driving out of Zug to go to other places. I did take a picture looking outside Emalei's kitchen window. I thought how cool it would be to see this beautiful scenery everytime you prepare food. (....and alot of food preparation was done while we were there)




We went to church on Sunday in Lucerne (Emalei and Fabio's ward) and afterwards went to visit Emalei's school. It was a foggy day and cold but we were still able to see the charm.

Emalei's school. It was remodeled from an old house on Lake Lucerne


After visiting Emalei's school, we drove to Bern. The temple is there but I can't find the picture we took at the temple. It is a beautiful temple. We went to Old Town Bern and had some lunch and walked around. There were lots of people out with their families and dogs. Such a fun atmosphere.







We climbed a bell tower in Old Town. I have climbed many a bell tower in Europe and swore this would be the last one. I just couldn't stand the thought of staying behind on my own. So...here's some pictures taken at the top of the bell tower.

Look at those beautiful mountains!!!!!!



Monday we did some grocery shopping in Zug, did some meal preparations and then went to Lucerne to tour around and then picked Emalei up after school. We had alot of fun walking around Old City Lucerne. This is where Emalei lived the first two weeks she was in Switzerland alone.


Everywhere I turned, I kept seeing this good looking guy so I had to take a picture of him. He was so much a part of the trip and the good time I had.



Stayed tuned for the next post. It will be of Munich and visiting Dachau concentration camp.
