FINALLY a few pics from skydiving!!
From the very start of planning for this trip for October-November i knew it was going to be the slow season-not as many people traveling, some lower fares, less trouble finding accommodation...BUT what i didn´t think about was that Europe would be changing colors right in front of my eyes! I have a newfound appreciation for fall since i have seen 5 different countries (and numerous landscapes, towns and cites throughout) painted with the colors of fall. Switzerland was absolutlely gorgeous...there had to have been 176 different colored trees! The same holds true for salsburg, Austria...i just got to Salsburg today and this city is so aesthe
tically pleasing-the perfect mix of old/modern buildings in a countryside type setting. pretty rad.enough with my "i love the fall" tangent...everything is going well! I left Interloken on Friday and met back up with candice in Innsbrook. We were there for two nights but only one full day, which was actually enough. I was a bit unimpressed with the city actually. However, the beer was great. WE went to this really small bar/pub and the older guy who was working there kept giving us free drinks. It turned out he was the owner and he was really jazzed on german beer! It seems that our backpacker´s luck hasn´t run out just yet...knock on wood! We also continue to meet great travelers everywhere we go too. Each conversation with fellow travelers AND/OR locals just adds a little something special to this experience as a whole.
As for my step count goes, I walked 9.2 km yesterday and a total of 27 while in switzerland...woop woop! I´m gonna rent a bike tomorrow and see as much of Salsburg as i can. I´m quite excited to be back on a bike...i was just saying the other day how i miss rolling around slo on my Haro:) I´ll hopefully update you guys again in Berlin...until then, take care and THANK YOU so much for writing me and checking in...it means so much more than you know!!
So much love!

Hey Jess! It was so good to hear your voice this weekend. I'm really starting to miss being able to pick up the phone and call you! In fact I called your phone just to hear your voice mail :)
So I talked to Beth Carranza the other day and guess who she saw at Stones soccer game...BECKHAM!! His son played on the opposite team. Beth said he was so nice and signed autographs for all the boys.
Pretty cool, huh! Beth said he was Freaking HOT!! Duh!!
So we all have the day off tomorrow for Veterans Day. I will probably do stuff around the house and take Grandma grocery shopping.
Next weekend we are going over to SLO...
Well, looking forward to hearing about your next adventure!
I love you and miss you Jess.
XOXO Mom

EUHS football is having a great year, hope you can catch some playoff action - and Haley should be starting B-ball real soon.
