June 9th Thurs.
Today is Lori's birthday!! So last night we planned a special dance with our friend Sam. I'll just say she had an interesting morning. We got on the train at 9 and headed to Bern we arrived at about 11:30 and went and saw the world's largest Coocoo clock. Bern is the town where Eienstien lived and worked for a while and came up with the Theory of Relitivity. We had some time for lunch and got Kebab's for Lori's Birthday. Then met back up with the group and started our walk to the Natural History Museum which is created and directed by Claude Cahun. It was amazing!! I took a museum studies class last semester and the amazing things Claude has done with designing information, so that people can visually see and understand it, would have blown my professor away:) We talked to him about design and his career and he answered questions. It was like meeting a famous person which he is. Then we had free time we went to the street fair and Lori bout Aladin pants for her birthday:) They looked way cute! Then we got some Gelatto it was delicious. When we got back Dominique had us sing to Lori and she had candles on her flan:) After dinner we threw a dance party on the veranda for Lori quite a few people from the group came it was fun! There was a business meeting so some people couldn't come. Angela gave Kaitlyn and I an assignment about opportunity costs. We were trying to get Dr. Fawson to cancel or combined the meeting with our dance party. It didn't quite work:) We ended up finishing our flash mob which will be great once we finally do it! Later I was talk to Angela and Bob and we had some tea and talked about life. I love the opportunities I have to pick successful wonderful people's lives:) Bob and I walked Angela to where she was staying and I got to ask him about the program on the way home. Such a great night!

June 8th Wed
Today we had to switch around what we were doing because of the weather. So we ended up taking a 5 hour train ride to Weil-am-Rhine, Germany to the Vitra House. The Vitra house is a furniture company dedicated to developing healthy, intelligent, inspiring and durable solutions for the office, home and public spaces. It was actually pretty amazing, I didn't know if I would be a entertained as I ended up being. We were there for an hour and a half and I just went from room to room amazed each time! They had chairs, tables, lights, couches and other furniture but it was some of the most unique things I have ever seen. This trip is amazing our group is so great we can just chill with everyone and it's like having one big family! I enjoy getting to talk to new and different people each day. We spent some time in Basel after the Vitra and did some shopping. Me and Kaitlyn and Talia went to H&M I got a scarf:) I am really going to miss the people here when I am done. So far... So Wonderful!!!

June 7th Tuesday
Today we began our journey to Fribourg, where we were able to walk around the most beautiful little towns. All I could keep thinking was that I felt like I was in A Knight's Tale. We stopped at some water fountains and looked at Heraldic Symbols and talked about design, and how these were basically the first logos. Then we hiked to the top of a hill and took off our shoes as we began our pilgermage on St. James Way to the St. Nicolas Cathedral. The walk with no shoes was very interesting it made me really think about sacrifice. I pondered the many people who make modern day pilgramege's and why they do it. Then inside the Cathedral we sat for a moment and I was able to meditate and listen to the organ being played. After that Lori, Kaitlyn and I walked up 368 steps to reach the top tower of the cathedral. It took forever but it was worth it!! You could see the entire city! We took pictures and played around then walked the 368 steps back down which made me slightly sick:) Then we walked to the local Art and History Museum which was amazing. Everything in there was from the 1500's to the 1700's. Then we decided to make a stop at H & M which was not such a great idea because we almost got left, because we almost missed the train!! Then dinner, cards, ukelee and bed!!
