Switzerland!!!!!!!!!

ok so we thought our troubles with barcelona and the ash cloud were over but definitely not. we got to the airport around 10:30 for our 12 oclock flight and then our plane was delayed for 2.5 hours. then we boarded the plane and sat there for an hour waiting to get clearance to take off because of the ash cloud over the area. not exciting. after an hour waiting on the plane we got clearance. so now we are in switzerland. it is absolutely gorgeous. i want to take pictures non stop. so we left the airport in geneva to head for Bern. we drove along this huge lake for a while with the gorgeous alps jutting up from the other side. we then went to this little town gruyeres where they are famous for their cheese. we went into this little tiny shop and got some brie and some other cheese i had no idea what it was. the guy spoke no english and i didnt speak any french. we got some cheese, bread, and a carton of orange juice and ate it while we looked at this small castle with an amazing backdrop. then we were on our way to bern again. after driving around the city looking for this guy we were to meet up with from couchsurfing.org , we finally called and met up with him. hes very atheist but a great guy. very kind. has been all over the world. so tomorrow we are going to see a little bit of the old city of bern which is pretty cool. then off to interlaken, the extreme sport capital of the world (along with new zealand). maybe do bunjee jumping or skydiving or something to scare mom. but we are being very safe and having fun. i will post pictures as soon as i can.
