Last time I was in Switzerland was 30 years ago and those cows with the bells were walking through the streets. Maybe the same cows.
Response: Haha I wouldn't be surprised. It doesn't seem like much has changed in the way of farming.

From MIMI RAMOS
Katie, you are so brave. I cannot imagine doing that by myself. I asked Will how bachelorhood was going today since you are gone so long. LOL.. I am proud of you that you can do this. I remember when I traveled to the Philliphines alone how scared I was. I cannot imagine doing all the traveling you are doing alone. Have fun and keep safe. Love the blogging.
Mimi
Response: Thanks for the support Mimi. Things can get pretty overwhelming when you are traveling alone, but so far its been worth it for sure!
From Wendy
Hi there, Katie,
I am hoping you are still feeling better and arrived in Rome safe and sound. Enjoy that city and yes, paying for to get into the colleseum is worth it :-)

From Julia
Switzerland: Red & White colors
Sweden: Blue & Yellow flag
IKEA is about as Swedish as it gets (hence the famous and yummy meatballs that I'm now craving...)!
How was your hangliding trip? Or did you end up skydiving?
Response: haha you're right about the meatball thing, I didnt think of that...
From rhonda
hi katie---looking for update--hope you are having great day!
From Aunt Wendy
Cool the hangliding was fun. And nope, IKEA is from Sweden I think????? Keep having fun!!
Response: Thanks Aunt Wendy :)
From rhonda
you are a crazy woman!!!---you hold on tight to that hanglider. looking forward to next update!
love ya
Response: It was amazing and so peacefull. Nita could do it. It wasn't scary at all, very beautiful and gentle.
From Julia
Glad you made it safe and sound to one of my favorite places! You're right, Interlaken is like something out of a 50s movie but don't talk too loud about Switzerland resembling an IKEA store - both the Swiss and the Swedish will take great offense in that!!
Have fun, enjoy the countryside and good luck on the next leg of your trip.
Response: Why?? Isn't IKEA from here??
From Aunt Wendy
Man, I am so living vicariously through you and I am so proud of your "maning up" -- got love a Galmiche/Van de Sande woman! :-). Switzerland sounds amazing. Glad you are having a good time and glad you finally showered and ate :-). Love you, Aunt Wendy
From Aunt Wendy

Response: It's on the way... today was a mad crazy travel day! xoxoxoxo
