Where are we?

Hey Guys!


        After a sixteen hour plane ride, Alexa and I have finally landed in Bern, the capital of Switzerland! Why Bern you ask? Bern is not just the capital of Switzerland, but the center of the Switz government as well as the home to many heritage sites(12). As exciting as Bern is we will not be staying there the whole time. We will also be visiting Zürich and Geneva! Zürich has the highest population in the whole country of Switzerland, and it is home to part of the Swiss Alps and historic sites such as Grossmünster, a major Protestant church in the city(12). Geneva itself has flourished and is not only in the seat of many international, but it is also home to the Reformation Wall, a monument honoring the main people and documents involved the Reformation(12).

       Walking through the airport, Alexa and I realized how much influence other countries have on Switzerland! Switzerland is bordered by Italy, France, Germany, and (a small portion of) Austria(1), so it only makes sense that these cultures would be seen throughout the country. We both thought this was super cool to experience so much culture all at once!

       Once we got to the hotel, we unpacked our suitcases. When we opened them we were very happy that we had packed perfectly for the weather. With it being fall and currently 53 degrees Fahrenheit we packed our North Face Jackets, Burberry scarves, and Lulu Lemon Leggings(4). Even when out of the country fashion is always a must! Switzerland's climate is very enjoyable. It is a temperate climate and is not crazy humid, hot, or cold(4)! With the weather being this nice, it just made our travels more of a pleasure and not a burden whatsoever(4).

        Now we are going to hit the streets of Switzerland! We are a little nervous because we only know a little bit of their main language, French(7). Thankfully, we have Alexa's French grandmother on call if we ever need any help. As of right now though, we do indeed know how to say hello, "Bonjour", and goodbye,"Au Revoir"(7). So au revoir for now!
