Bon Jour! - Not bonjourno! Bon Jour! Because I am now in Lisuanne Switzerland, which is a French speaking city of Switzerland. Some parts of Switzerland speak German. So far, in the past few hours that I have been here I am not a fan of Switzerland. I know thats too qucik to say but it is my opiion as of now. Right now I am in an arcade that also has cheap internet? I don't know strange things you find in Europe. BUt since I havent written much about Austria I want to back track a little bit. On thursday I stayed in most of the day after our business visit because I was sick and I wanted to feel better for canyoning the next day. THank god i did because canyoning was the most exciting and adventurous thingk I have ever done! We left around 1pm on Friday and drove about half an hour away to a small town outside of Innsbruck and then we got into our wetsuits, gym shoes and helmets...oh and harnesses. We then took the most crazy and scary bus ride up a mountain. Literally, the bus driver was taking twists and turns at like 80 miles an hour up a freaking mountain. It was pretty scary. Once we got to the top we basically just hooked up to the bridge and dropped off a bridge down to the canyon. It ws so scary we had to just hold on to the rope lean back and go but letting go of the bridge was the hardest thing ever. Then we walked through the canyon and river (i guess you could call it a river?) but bascially its just melted snow I think. Then the first big thing we did was we got to the top of a probably 10 foot waterfall and jumped. One by one we had to jump into the waterfall from wehre the tour guides showed us to. They even showed us where to not jump because there will be rocks and then you could die. COOL. it was so scary it took me a while to get the mentality to just jump. There were a bunch of natural water slides we went down that were insane and then we repelled a bunch of times. It took us a while to ge to the end where the van picked us up. I am so sore today, it is ridiculous. Today is my friends 21st birthday at midnight so I am stalling her right now at the arcade until all of the other kids on the trip gather in my room and then we are having a little surprise party when we get back so I am excited for that because I think she is a little sad she isnt home for her 21st Tomorrow we are going to the city of Guyer? and going to a cheese and a chocolate factory! I am really loving Europe and all of my exciting adventures but I can't wait to be back in America! The trips half way over which is insane its going to be very bitter sweet when its all over. I think tomorrow night I am going to do laundry and get some more internet so hopefully I'll be able to put more pictures up and wrtite more tomorrow. SOrry everything is spelled wrong once again the internet is so slow that I can't even see what I'm typing till I am 2 paragraphs down :) I miss everyone so much and hope that my blogs are not too boring to read :)
love ya!
