ItALy and SwiTzeRLaNd adventure!

There is sooo much I need to catch up on! So, I will do it a little at a time! First I will tell you about our trip to Italy and share some pictures with you! First of all, it was absolutely amazing and we had so much fun! We started our trip off in New York for a day and then headed over to Milan, Italy. New York was fun! While we were there we got to see Time Square, Central Park, the Temple, and lots of tall tall buildings! Its was a really quick stay, but still fun! Then we headed off to Italy! When we first got there we went straight off to see the Duomo. It was amazing!!! It was humongous and sooooooo beautiful! Everywhere you go the buildings are awesome! They are so big and breath taking!

Milano is really big and for all you who don't know, its the fashion capital of the world! Sweet huh? Joel and I went off exploring and we found the shopping industry that every one crazes about! And it was pretty fantastic! There were Porsche's and Ferrari's everywhere! I felt like we just stepped into a magazine! Yeah....it was that cool! ha ha. There was every high end shop you could think of! It was so cool to see and so fun to explore! ......thanks for humoring me Joel! :)

Next we went to Venice! And yes....it is all it's cracked up to be! The canals that go through everything are amazing and the old buildings are phenomenal!

I'll just stop talking and let the pictures say the rest....

After Milan and Venice we traveled over to Genova. That is the area that Jan served his mission. We got to tour all around and see all the cool attractions. Then we went on an amazing hike along the Mediterranean through little old villages. The view was amazing and the hike was so much

fun! Robbie (one of Jan's investigators and friend from Genova) took us on this beautiful hike and told us all the history about the villages and buildings. It was awesome!

Now it's off to Switzerland! It is so beautiful there! Once again....I will let the pictures talk. :)

We hiked all these stairs and more to the top of the Swiss Alps. The stairs were never ending! Literally....there was no end :) It was so fun though! We took a bus up to the mountain, then hiked up the rest! (I didn't know what was in store for that day as you can see....Italian sandals are definitely not hiking boots! ha ha). But I made due! :)

View from the top!!!! WHoo Hooo!
