Here are a few more pics. One is at the Switzerland temple, another is a hike we went on yesterday, another is overlooking Bern from a garden we went to, and the last one is in Venice, Italy. We really like Switzerland and are having a great time here! We head to Austria on Sunday!

Switzerland!!!

We love Switzerland!! We have only been in Bern one day, but it is great! It feels so much like home to us. There are beautiful mountains, rivers and lakes, and a much cooler climate! It is beatiful here. Today we climbed up the tower of the tallest cathedral in Bern, we climbed up to some beautiful rose gardens, with an amazing view, and we saw the Bern bears. We plan on going to the Bern temple tomorrow and heading to Lucerne, Switzerland where we will do some biking, swimming, and chocolate tasting :)

I have been trying to post more pictures, but I am on a computer that doesn`t recognize my camera. Maybe next time!

More Italy

Sorry, no pics today. I forgot my camera cord. We are leaving Rome tomorrow. We have seen so much! Yesterday we took a day trip to Venice. It was fun, but we were glad it was only a day trip because we were feeling a bit claustrophobic there with the tiny winding streets that are hard to navigate. Tomorrow we head to Florence for a couple of days. That is one of KC's favorite cities, so we are excited to go! After that we head to Switzerland. We are so excited to move to the northern countries because the heat and humidity are killing us! Backpacking in upper 90 degree weather with humiduty can be a beast. We still love it here though!

Rome and more pics

We made it to Rome! We had a crazy day here yesterday, but we are getting used to the craziness. We saw the Colosseum and the Trevi Fountain and some other sites. Today we will probably go to some museums and we will hit the Vatican tomorrow. Its a relief to be here for a whole week! We have been in 4 countries in 2 weeks, so it's nice to stay somewhere for awhile. Here are some more pics :)

Greece

We are now in Greece! It is very hot and humid here, but less tourists, so that is OK. We went and saw many Greek ruins today including the Parthenon and Zeus's temple. Tomorrow we are heading to the coast :)
We spent our one month anniversary walking the streets of Paris, going to the Louvre, and going up on the Eiffel Tower. We got there right as the lights turned on. It was perfect! Kc will have a hard time topping that anniversary!
Here are a few pics :)

Paris

We love Paris! We have been here 2 days now and have 1 and 1/2 more. The atmosphere is great and things are MUCH cheaper than in England. We went to Versailles yesterday and today we went to 2 art museums and the Notre Dame cathedral. It's amazing! The architecture here is wonderful! We are on our way to the Arc de Triumph now. I will try to post pictures when I get more time.

Europe

Well it's Day 2 in London. Yesterday we watched the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace, walked through Hyde Park and saw the Princess Diana Memorial Fountain. Today we went on a tour of the Tower of London, stopped by Westminster Abby, saw Big Ben, the Millenium Wheel and saw the musical "Wicked." In about a half an hour we are off to see the play "The Mousetrap" by Agatha Christie. It is the longest running show in the world! Over 50 years I believe.

Well it's really hot in this tiny Internet cafe, so I am going to be off. I will update more later! :)
