The beautiful city of Interlaken, Switzerland
Well, it is just now half way through our semester abroad in Italy and we only have 3 more weeks left in the program before we return to Alabama! A couple of the girls and I decided that this past weekend we would make the trip to Interlaken, Switzerland. A one-hour plane ride and (to our surprise), a $136 train ride later, we finally made it to our cute little town, so what do we do first? Go hang-gliding of course! Most of the letters that we had gotten from the previous girls said to go hang-gliding over the Swiss Alps. Some of the girls on this trip had already been and said it was an amazing experience. Our instructors could not have been any nicer to us. They helped to make us feel the most at ease as we could. I would definitely have to agree with all the girls and say that hang-gliding over the Swiss Alps has been one of the best experiences of my life. But who can go hang gliding without getting pictures? So, as I am collecting my pictures from the ground control crew, I noticed a little mistake in the spelling of my name. According to Outdoor Interlaken, I was Tormane the T-bird who flew with Ed the Eagle for the weekend. So, naturally as we girls do, we decided that it would be a great band name. Even though we have made it back to the palace, Tormane the T-bird still lives on.
