Switzerland

Me, Carrie and Charlotte went to Bern, Lucerne, and Zurich for the weekend. Wonderful food (we splurged on some Swiss Cheese fondue), and great weather on Sunday- perfect for paddle boating in Lake Lucerne! We didn't do much but walk around and enjoy the cities, but the people were friendly and the different trains were quite the experience- from the tiny 6 person couchette overnight trains to the regional trains that had spectacular views of the countryside- I will say that Swiss cows were some of the happiest cows I've ever seen...

Big fans of ice hockey in Bern (the World Championships were taking place in Switzerland and the games were being aired everywhere- and everyone was wearing jerseys and funny hats...)

Capri and the Amalfi Coast

April 24-26
I went with our school to visit Naples, the Amalfi Coast and Pompeii. Beautiful weekend altogether, enjoyed being outside in the sun taking ferries from town to town and finally making it to the island of Capri- where I was able to lay out on a little rocky beach and even take a quick swim in the Mediterranean!

A few of the huge lemons they had... and these weren't even close to the biggest ones I saw!
