Sorry for the slight delay…..:)

It is now Wednesday July 2, 2008….been awhile since I have updated this blog/journal!!!

Currently I sit in Roma, Italy in my hostel room where it is currently 32 degrees Celsius….IN THE ROOM!!!! Warmer in here than it is outside! The A/C in our room doesn’t seem to help at all….I know this because I am sitting right under it and do not feel a thing…..and yes it is turned on!

Upon the completion of my international business degree at the Berufsakadamie in Bad Mergentheim, Germany this past week (June 27, 2008) Scott and I have taken off, moved out of our apartment in BM and have begun our short journey through southern Europe together.

Leaving BM, we boarded a train bound for Interlaken, Switzerland! Interlaken is called this due to it being geographically situated between two very large lakes. One of the lakes is the deepest in the world, one of our tour guides (a man who has very dirty jokes) told us that it goes below sea level! After sitting on the train for about 8 hour’s en-route to Interlaken we finally arrived. Lugging all of my bags around with me, included within this luggage is a 50 pound backpackL, we walked the 15 minutes to the hostel we were staying at for the three nights. The hostels name is “Funny Farm!” The layout of the area is situated in a rather weird way…the check-in is located at the Funny Farm hotel. You can just picture walking up to this rather nice looking hotel and thinking to yourself “how could I have booked this good of a hostel…OH YEA!” Once you check-in you are given the awful news that the hostel where you will be kept is about a few hundred feet behind the hotel….great! I may be making this out to sound like it was an absolute dump…..it was not! The hostel was actually very nice even though it was located within an old barn type building. Written above the main door to our hostel was “be kind to others, don’t waste beer!” It’s an underlying theme to the Funny Farm hostel I think.
