All right, as I said in my last post I woke up at 8:30. Nothing much happened until about 2, when Sandra and I went to pick up Danyelle. We then headed out to a Barefoot Park, where you get to walk around without shoes (of course) over different surfaces. It sounds less interesting than it is. I loved it. There was some REALLY cold water, rocks, mud, smooth glass, mud, rocks, mud, and a lot of different activities to do along the way. The whole thing is outside, in the forest, and it’s really cool. I liked walking on the glass, and all the balance beams. The whole thing is about 3 kilometers, I think.
After our hike, we headed to my house. Danyelle and I played Magic, as well as watching multiple shows on my laptop. We went to bed around 1:30, and woke up at about 8:45. We then headed out for what turned out to be a very boring adventure, with a few slight perks. We had thought we were going to explore Switzerland. Instead, we went to Madeleine’s relatives, and visted with them for… too long to be comfortable. Then, when we finally got to where we were going, only Danyelle and I felt like exploring the Swiss city we had gone to. Without even going to the castle, we went back home.
As far as perks go, I got some interesting shots from this whole endeavor. We sat down next to this interesting fountain, which had one of those huge chess boards that people can play on. Oh, and I got to go on the Autobahn at 190 kph. That’s a bit less than 120 mph, for you non-metric people. And hanging out with everyone (when we weren’t bored and out of place at odd relatives houses) was fun. We talked about different kinds of music that we liked, did a guess that artist kind of game. That kind of thing. But overall I’d rather have stayed home, or better yet gone to church.

I’m glad you got some good pictures and got to go on the Autobahn (the Top Gear guys would be proud!) but I’m sorry you didn’t get to explore the city. Not even the castle???! Sometimes it’s hard to travel with people for whom this is not new and exciting. I’ll go back with you sometime and explore to your heart’s content. I’m getting itchy to travel.
I need to scratch it.
