First Entry from Switzerland

HELLO HOME
Here is the first official entry on the Swiss Exchange Blog.
I am currently on my second week of vacation. The first week I had the wonderful privilage of going to ROME with my host family. It was amazing we saw the colisseum, and all other tourist desitnations. And since I am in Switzerland we meet up with a true Swiss Guard (he is the son of the other couple who travelled with us) and received a personal tour through the Popes gardens where all other normal tourist can't go. We also of course ate and ate (pizza, pasta, more meat than is natural, tiramisu mmmmm, and a lot of gelato). So, that was our little treck to Rome which was all a total of about 2h15min on a plane there and back (I am still amazed at how small Europe is). Pictures will be getting posted soon hopefully just be patient
