Well it has been over a week since our last pidgeon related incident, and keeping our fingers crossed, it seems as though we have mastered the art of staying clear of their flight paths. We have also abided by the strict rule of not trying to walk on moving public transportation vehicles, and as a result, have avoided any possible injuries that may have been incurred. This Thursday was our first full day in Switzerland, and it certainly provided us with a great deal of fun and excitement, in both education and leisure.
Our morning started off at the Olympic Museum and Research Center. The museum was pretty small in size, but it housed a ton of interesting Olympic artifacts, ranging from ancient Greek pottery and statues to Usain Bolt's Olympic uniform.The tour of the museum was a great learning experience, and half way through our trip, we were lucky enough to be blessed with the experience of having a plague of Swiss school children join us. These children took over the museum, running and screaming through the exhibits, making the overall experience utterly unforgettable. After the tour of the museum, we were able to take in the research center where we were able to research some of our individual research projects. The center provided us with a great variety of useful books and materials which I'm sure we all found helpful. I, along with Brandon, decided to take advantage of the center's collection of films, and let me just say, with our taking in of the films Space Jam and Cool Runnings, research has never been more fun.
After a day in the town, we decided to have a unique experience for dinner. We all went to the local market and bought a wide variety of foods for a beachfront dinner on Lake Geneva. With an assortment of breads, meats, and cheeses, we opened a bottle of whine and took in the beautiful sunset against the mountains. It was a beautiful night, with the scenic view truly making us feel as though we were in our own little postcard. It was truly an unforgettable night, and surely one I will never forget. Without a doubt, this is the most beautfil place I have ever visited, and I'm positive that most of the others share that same feeling.
