I'm sorry my blog posts have been less and less frequent, I just feel like there isn't much to report except when I travel or have some kind of major life event.

Anyway, I went to Bern, the capital of Switzerland, last Saturday with the whole Smith group (which means Smith paid for it, yay!). We left at 9:45 am and arrived in Bern at 11:30. I went exploring with G, and we saw the market, the Bear Park-
the Cathedral-
the Rose Garden-
and the amazing view from the Garden of the city:
Then we met up at a cafe with the rest of the group and took a tour of the Federal building:
We couldn't take pictures inside, but it was really gorgeous. The tour was in French, so I spent most of it translating for G and C, though they understood a lot of it on their own (they're learning so fast!).

There were great views from right behind the building:
Then we hopped on a train and came home! Bern was so so gorgeous, it made me want to pull my camera out every two seconds to take a picture of something that caught my eye. Also, it was odd to still be in Switzerland but hear German around me, because I'm obviously quite used to French. The people there are so completely different from the Genevans, too.

Now I'm on Spring Break and I have yet to figure out what I'm going to do! Probably a lot of day trips. I'll keep you updated!
