Free Day In Switzerland

May 21, 2015

It's a beautiful day in Switzerland and what better time to post a blog than on a free day. I think the most exciting part about today was being able to sleep in until noon. After being well rested the group went to the Olympic Library in order to discuss the topics of our papers in depth. Professor Ryan took time out and thought of individual topics for everyone to do based on their career goals and personalities which we all appreciated very much. After being students for a while, everyone branched off to get lunch. Pamela and I got on the train and went to the Lausanne-Gar stop and ate at Vapiano (which has the best pasta in the world FYI). Later on around 6 pm, we all went down by the water and had a mini picnic where we enjoyed the view of the Alps Mountains and almost getting attacked by beautiful swans. The guys (especially Rob and Brendan) were trying very hard to hit the balls floating in the water and although they had a few close ones, they just did not count lol! The funniest part about today was Cady and Ethan racing one another and Ethan surprising Cady by being very fast and leaving her in the dust. For dinner some went had Chinese, others had Pad Thai and I had ice cream! I was still so full from the pasta I had no room to eat another meal (one reason why it is the BEST pasta in the WORLD)! Tomorrow we go back to having things to do but it was nice to have a day that insisted of sleeping (which doesn't happen too often) and still hanging out as a group! Can't wait for what tomorrow has in store for us! Until my next post America!
