We're speechless, we can't even come up with a title because it was too amazing...





Words cannot describe Iseltwald, Switzerland. Hiking, climbing, waterfalls, towering alps, aquamarine lakes, quaint villages, amazing struedel... we both agree that we will never possibly ever see such a beautiful place again. The pictures don't do it justice and neither can we. Basically we spent the last 2 days outdoors hiking and taking it all in. I wish you all could see this place. ANd if you're thinking about going on vacation anytime soon... well, go here. Oh, btw~ if you are looking for the REAL Leavenworth... we found it, but better. Lots of love. Updates after Germany. btw Cathy~ Dan was very safe when he had to rockclimb to get up to this tree. Promise.

We're Moving to Switzerland!!!



Hey everyone! Sorry for the delay, cheap internet access is hard to come by~ leaving you with sporatic posts... Here's what you've missed~ We spent our time in Valencia, Spain on the beach... Note to everyone: ALWAYS go back for the sunscreen... but it was awesome, we also ate one of 300 types of Spanish paella. Then we left Spain for a period of time and have moved onto Switzerland (a better place in our opinion). Seriously, we are legitimately considering moving to Bern (the capital, though you wouldn't know it due to it's laid back atmosphere and green parks and forests everywhere). There, we toured ALbert Einstein's house and ate the most amazing chocolate mousse cake in existence (it's true Swiss chocolate beats them all). Love you all more updates to come! (Promise)

Stick with the Half Carafe







Hey Everyone! So we'll be leaving Barcelona for Valencia tomorrow morning early : ( But we love it so much that we will be back. Our quest in search of a drinking fountain throughout the entire city so that we might avoid paying for agua has failed. We succumbed to our thirst... Oh well. We spent the majority of today touring the ancient Roman ruins underneath the city for the 4th century. This morning we discovered that Picasso created artisitc works other than his famous "cubism." Oh, and that he seemed to be obsessed with the same painting of 20 pigeons, which he painted about 11 times over a period of 3 days. Otherwise we've spent most of our time just enjoying the slow pace of this city. It's beautiful, ancient, and relaxed but exciting at the same time. ps~ Wine is really cheaper than the water... but its great wine :) We'll post again soon after Valencia, most likely from Suisse!

Hola Barcelona! ( Cant figure out the upside down exclamation point on this crazy keyboard)...


So we have arrived! Barcelona is so beautiful! After a crazy experience finding our hostel (we were near it for about 20 minutes) we absolutely crashed after staying awake for approx. 27 hours. btw~ Luftanza (sp?) is incredible... Condor... not so much. We've decided the flight attendants are scary German monsters in disguise. Anyways, more to come. Just letting everyone know that we arrived safely~ Erica and Dan
