so, writing from mürren again, today i went to the top of the shilthorn via 2 trams. it reminded me of the good old snowbird tram, and i miss home. but it is beautiful here and the enormisoty of the mountains here is astonishing. they are just soo HUGE! i love the place where im staying, the Eiger Guest House; it is cheap, and has no star (*) rating, but it is homey and quite comfortable. i have a room with four bunks and i am with my two brothers. i must say that the food in europe is waaaaay better than anzthing you could get in the states. its just so... good! but there are some drawbacks. the milk here is sterlized, so you can keep it on the shelf, and not refrigate it-- it is terrible! it tastes like...really smelly socks, all blended up into a liquid... eew. They do have some strange thinking, though. For instance, in the southern france, most bathrooms dont have toilets... at least the ones we know and love. even if they do have toilets, they most likley didnt have seats on them; what they did have was what my family calls a "squatter"-- a hole in the ground made out of porcelain, even with little spots to put your feet! so while you are at home, remember to love your toilet and your cold milk and ice cubes

were here in europe, home of the stinky people, and stinky cheese! im having a great time here and wish you could be with me. yesterday i visited a medievil castle and last night we stayed in a strange, very gay-seeming hotel, with very colorful walls, and (creative) paintings... Barcelona was 37 degrees!! (thats hot, in centigrade) not to mention the humidity. im enjoying everything, and and it is totally awsome.
love you all, dont take cold milk for granted...

writing to you from the top of europe in the swiss alps... a little town called Mürren, the only was to get here is by tram or by train- no roads, no cars. All day ive been driving, we went through a the great st. bernard tunnel that was like 4 miles long! we went over some crazy pass and got passed by ferarris and bmws and porches, and really cool cars and tons of motorcycles. thanks
love zou all---
