The HoneyMOOners


Lauterbrunnen
- Finally time to enjoy the FRESH AIR of beautiful Switzerland!!!!! I don't care that I have to live in a bedroom the size of a closet with 3 other girls, I am DOWN to rough it for fresh pure air! It's only too bad I now am dying, instead, of allergies. But nothin' is gonna get me down!

Hiking, waterfalls, lambs, and flowers were now a daily sight. The only thing I missed out on during these few days was the dog sleds on The Top of Europe...other than that, these days were my time to be a hippie- one with nature- and enjoy everything from the cows with over-sized bells (animal cruelty????) to the warm tomatoe soup at the quaint little internet cafe we found. Our favorite (slash only) bartender at our favorite (slash only) bar- The Stump- even helped us cozy down even more, lending us half his collection of man movies to watch on Bryan's computer. There we were, Amanda, Jackie, Alli, Bryan and myself all cramped in our closet huddled around Bryan's laptop watching what could possibly be the worst horror film I've ever seen (although, I must admit that going to the communal bathroom in the middle of the night with only a flashlight WAS a little scary after that movie....), while the rain poured down....and we were all happy as clams- or for the sake of the Switzerland theme, happy as LAMBS :)

And the lambs WERE happy. The lambs and the cows were the luckiest animals in the world- all enjoying the views of the landscape around them. Not one of them were ever turned away from a great view. Our most precious sight was of two cows, overlooking the mountains, who we dubbed the "HoneyMOOners."

When it was time to leave, I think we were even going to miss our little closet.
