I met Katie (American who works at Deloitte), her fiance Steve (from Switzerland), and their friend Mandy (also American). We then drove about an hour to Flüelen, which is near the birthplace of Switzerland. I was immediately amazed by the views and the beautiful colors of the water. We took a boat ride across the lake and then began our walk back to the car. We stopped throughout to take pictures, feed ducks and a pony, and eat a picnic lunch. The entire hike took almost 3 hours, but was nice and flat. We had plenty of beautiful scenery along the way while walked next to the lake, through tunnels in the mountain, and through fields next to the lake.
Like I said, it was absoultely beautiful.
Here's the beginning of the tunnel we walked through

So, as I mentioned above, I had to wear my Relay for Life shirt on Saturday to support Relay for Life which took place in my hometown this past Saturday. For those that don't know, Relay for Life is the American Cancer Society's fundraiser. It is a 24 hour event in which teams raise money and walk all day and all night in honor and memory of those who are fighting or have fought cancer. It is a great event that is very close to my heart. Now, while I could not participate in person this year, I made it a point to do my walking on Saturday. I didn't stop after the hike, I walked all over the city Saturday evening/night and Sunday. If you would still like to donate to this wonderful cause, it's not too late. You can do so at:
Thanks for your support!
