Today was the first day of my 10 days of free time. I went to a little city by Lake Geneva called Vevey. I had a lot of fun. I love having enough time to look at stuff. I wanted to go back to the Chateau de Chillon now that it is sunny, but I got hot and sunburned before I could get there.
I found a bunch of cool stuff though. I purchased a few things. Everything here is 3 times as much as it is in the states. According to one of the teachers here, the last time they checked (3 years ago) minimum wage was 20$ an hour!!! No wonder I can't afford anything! But the fashion here is just amazing. I am determined to graduate, pay off college costs, save up, and then throw out ALL my clothes and come here and buy a whole new wardrobe! Okay... maybe it will take a while. But you get the point. The clothes are awesome.
Here are a few pictures from our hike on Thursday. It was beautiful. The girls braided my hair so I could be "Heidi of the Mountain" like in the Swiss story "Heidi" it was pretty fun. The cows were nice and tame and let us pet them.

Sounds like you are having a wonderful time. I will make this short I have to go to bed we are leaving in the morning for California. I hope you enjoy your 10 days of freedom to do what you want. I will talk to you later. Take care.
