Long delay

We will be returning home in a few days, and I have decided to update my blog!  Since we have been in the apartment the Internet is much slower, and I can't seem to upload anything, so I guess you will all have to wait to see my pictures until I get back.  I'm going to try to keep this brief or I would be here all day!

If you have been following on face book you may have seen that Jesse and I visited Italy for lunch last weekend, and caught the Bernina Express.  It is an amazing train ride that has been in operation for 100 years this year, what a special experience. 

The weekend before we spent the weekend in Munich during their annual city founding festival, luck timing I guess.  Since we went all the way, we did spend most of one day going the little bit farther to visit Dachau.  Jesse and I defiantly learned a lot in that visit, not even including that sense of reality that sets in when you actually see a place you have only ever heard of.  Not to make little of war, or the atrocities committed especially in WWII, but growing up secure and safe and so far removed I don't think these places or events were any more real than words on a page until I was actually standing there. 

I'm not sure what the last post I made covered so forgive if I repeat myself.  The weekend prior to Munich we visited Lucerne and Bern, both of which are beautiful and best understood with pictures.

All along we have booked our own train tickets, except to Munich and the Bernina Express.  For those trips we paid a travel agent to help us book our tickets, international train travel, then a fully booked train/bus package required the extra attention.  We have found the trains easy to use, clean and comfortable.  Jesse's only complaint is that we have not travelled in a sleeper car yet, I think we will be saving that experience when we have more time to commit to the journey itself.  It seems like everywhere in Switzerland is only about 2 hours or less by train from Zurich! 

Speaking of Zurich, I have some errands to run that will take me into the city today, and since I need to get back early so Jesse and I can meet some of his co-workers for a World Cup game and Bar-B-Q tonight, I need to wrap it up and get on with it.  Love you all and will see you soon!
