Almost everyday started with a train ride.
Look! :)
Well, this day didn't actually start with a train ride. It started with a camera shop search. Thus no pictures of the first part of our day. We did find a camera shop, and bought a brand new camera so that we could continue our trip. I mean, seriously! How could we go on without a camera?
Then we took the train up, up, and up to the little village of Leysin, where Mom went to school!!!
It was really incredible being where Mom was, and at the very school that she went to. This was it: Leysin American School.
This building was one of the only buildings that would have made up the school back in the 60's, so of course we had to see it. Everyone was so friendly and happy to see us. We were thrilled to meet the founder's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Ott. :D
Mrs. Ott invited us to lunch in the school cafeteria. The food was good too! We were starved after climbing the mountains roads to the school with our backpacks on! Those bags never got any lighter!
Mom's class!
Us with Mrs. Ott. I can't explain how incredible it was to be here...way up in the the Swiss Alps, in Leysin, where Mom went to school... It just felt good!
Moving on... Our reflection is in the window.
Sarah loved these advertisements. :D
We accidentally bought the long scenic route too Interlaken, but it was okay. It was nice to sit for a while and the views were beautiful! We passed farms with adorable Swiss cows (A picture later... :P ) and quaint towns. At this pointed I noted in my journal that I thought we were finally getting the train systems down... hmmm... I don't know about that. :)
It was raining upon our arrival, but it soon dried up and we set out in search of our hostel.
Our hostel! It was sooo nice!
The view out our windows.
We took a short walk to the grocery store to buy a few things for dinner.
The hostel had a fabulous kitchen where we cooked up our dinner of grilled cheese and tomato soup. Yum! The bread and cheese in Europe is like no other!
