We finished the hannover trip last Thursday and I had a lot of fun there. While I didn't get to see much of the city, I had fun with Toby. He's a cool guy and showed me around the university and parts of the town. Thursday, we headed to Basel and went to see Novartis and it was exciting and fun. They are a great company and definitely made us feel welcome. I especially like behind the scene tour of the labs and getting a look at some of the things they do. While I had a lot of fun in Basel, I had a blast in Interlaken. We spent saturday morning canyoning and all I can say is wow...it was awesome. My only wish is that I did this type of activity earlier. The freezing water, the jumps, the slides were all part of the 3 hour adventure and it was just a blast. I would definitely do that again. Later that afternoon, I did the canyon jump with Megan. I never though I would actually jump 240 feet but I did it. The only problem is that I accidently flipped midair and my arm was caught in the ropes. Luckily, I just got a bruise where the rope wrapped. Sunday was just a long day of traveling plus dinner. Unfortunately, I didn't get to meet my original host but Gertje was incredibly nice to let me stay at her place when I kept insisting on going to a hotel. So a big thanks to Gertje and Lindsey for putting up with me that night...
Well we're almost half way through the last week and I finally have a host. Connie is a very nice person and has helped me out tremendously. The first 2 days have been hectic but fun. The bike tour was very interesting and had a lot of history. I was able to take some pictures of some important monuments and buildings so hopefully they will come out well. I'm looking forward to the rest of the week here in Berlin with some of the activities we are going to do. But I'm also looking forward to heading home soon...
