Yes, the title is a bit misleading, but I needed something
clever. ;) I did not buy a wallet or a
watch but I did see an awesome fountain in Geneva! And of course did a handstand in front of
Lake Geneva. We only spent about and our
in Geneva and then headed to Laussane to The Olympic Museum. This was an awesome experience and fun to see
Salt Lake City around the museum. I was
in 2nd grade during the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake. I knew something important was going on, but
I don’t think I fully comprehended how cool it was to have the Olympics so
close to my house! I went to curling
with my dad for my small taste of the event.
I bought a Roots hat (still in use today) and my parents went to a few
other events and bought a cow bell. My
memories are fading and I’m hoping that someday I’ll be able to go to another
Olympics so I can fully understand and uniqueness and talent in the games. The museum was amazing! They had torches from many of the games
seeing them all side by side gave a perspective of how different the Olympic
games are from each other. They also had
a large display of equipment and outfits used over the years to see the growth
as we become more sophisticated. I loved
the museum and got an awesome picture by the balance beam out front.
We left
and drove for a while to Tasch. This is where we were supposed to see the Matterhorn but the fog definitely threw a chink in those plans. We weren't able to really see anything which was really disappointing. I decided to relax in the hotel with some of the girls from the program and we had a great time! The hotel was incredibly quaint. It kind of looked like an old lady's cute little house. We spent the next day driving the entire day to Garmisch. Probably spent about 11 hours on the bus total, it was a long day but enjoyable nonetheless!
Tomorrow we get to go visit a castle! Germany is gorgeous! It's cool to be in the land of my ancestors!
