Just wander and discover.

If you ask me, the best way to discover a place is to meander. Wander.

When you go to a new city, get lost.

Sounds absurd. And knowing the Laura that came here, I would never do that.

But, I have come to the conclusion that getting lost is the best way, without a doubt, to discover a place. Because that way, you can really see the place! And so, here in Switzerland, I like to meander. Smile 

So, 2 Saturday’s ago, Jenna and I decided to meander through the Swiss countryside outside of Lucerne!

Flag Parades. How I will not miss you.

It is time for another fun and exciting flag parade!


Except, at this point, all us of oldies have learned that they are not fun. Or exciting. Hence, the reason that literally SEVEN North Americans were there. It was the first time that we have been so outnumbered by newbies.

But, it all ended okay :)


Frenchies! Gina, Kelly, and I with the American and Swiss flag!


My 2 favorite places in the world. America and Switzerland. Love.
Canada, Switzerland and America. Best Friends forever.
My favorite Canadian and I. :)


And lastly, Jenna and I proudly bearing the Swiss flag!

"This park is so legit."

Yesterday, I was free, so we headed to Baden! To go to "the best park in all the world" as Ben puts it. So, we traveled 2 hours. Just to go to a park. :) It's a good life.


Timetables. Story. Of. My. Life.
Becky and I!
Look! It's mine and Brandon's reflection! Unfoutrunetly, I was the same height as that bar. . . . .

Playing some frisbee in the street on the way to the park. . . :)

On the way to the park! Anticipation!!!!


And...


We made it!


Benjamin, Benjamin, let down your hair!
On the ropes!
Becky and I sliding down! I will admit, I was a little scared. It was a rather large slide. . .
Brandon sliding down!
Climbing up to the caves!
There was this little cave thingy, and I decided to explore them!!!
Becky and I took attempting to balance on the beam. Apparently, I was "pulling her down". I was just making sure I didn't fall off. . . . :) Haha.
You see that thing under the Tee-pe (how do you spell that?). It is a little, net, so to say, and we were determined to climb into it. And after numerous rug burns, getting my feet stuck, and cauding pain to myself. . . .
MADE IT!
Cris, being as tiny as she is, fit INTO the baby swing. It was so funny!
Becky made it too!
And we ended our play date with Brandon on the swings. . .


The fact that we are 16, 17, and 18 doesn't matter as long as you are kids at heart :)

We go to the biggest waterfall in Europe.

The other day, a bunch of us got together and headed to RhineFalls! which is the biggest waterfall in Europe! It is up right by the German boarder, on the Rhine river!


RHINE FALLS!
Jenna, Ben, Zion and I!

Me with the Falls!
Most of my favorite people in the world. I love them all so much.
You could take these boats right up to the Falls!
Zion and I!
"Hey! Let's get a picture of the blondes! Ben, Laura, Zion, and Brandon!" "Yeah! Okay!"

(we all get together)

"Okay, 1, 2, (Jenna and Nick join), 3!"

"Okay! It was the blondes plus Jenna and Nick......"

Jenna and Zion!
Cris and Ben. This is their relationship.
Veronica and Brandon! So attractive.
Brandon and I!
Veronica by the water.
Andrew. It is impossible not to live him.

After seeing the Falls, we decided to head into the village there, Scaffhausen!

Nick and I wandering through Scauffhausen.

Imagine how long it must of taken to paint. That is talent and patience.

Jenna and I!

And lastly, me in Schaffhausen!
