Interloken, Switzerland!

Hello all!! I've been here in Interloken for the past 5 days...i was supposed to leave on tuesday, but two days here was just not going to be enough!! This place is an backpacker/outdoor person's paradise! As you may have heard through the grapevine, i jumped out of a plane over the swiss alps the other day and it was the thrill of my life! I also paid extra to have them do a video and pictures, so i can relive that feeling over and over...and i have alreday watched it twice! I can't wait to show the fam:) The hostel that I'm staying at (the oldest in Switzerland) was also a major reason i didn't want to leave, it is by far the best one I've stayed in yet! Movie room, pool table, kitchen, free breakfast, the "relaxation/hangover" hammock room, Bar with 2 for 1 happy hour...this place is soooo much fun and i feel most at home here because the people are so accomodating. I've also met some really great friends that i've been hiking and exploring with. We rented these little cars yesterday and drove up into this valley then to some pretty glorious lakes...saw a full rainbow, skipped rocks and had to pinch myself because it felt too perfect to be true. Even though i am in love with Interloken, there is still too much to see in the rest of Europe so i'm off to Austria tomorrow to meet back up with candice and discover Innsbrook and Salsburg. Even though i've been over here for almost 4 weeks, everyday is still as exciting as the first and i'm excited for what the remaining three weeks hold:)
I love you all and hope all is well at home...you're in my thoughts!
so much love, jess
p.s. i spent 15 minutes on this crappy internet cafe computer trying to download some skydiving pics, but the comp stinks!! sorry:/ i'll try again later!
