Lausanne's FREE DAY!!

How you doin 11 o'clock wake up.

Everyone got to sleep in today until whenever they pleased because we all had a free day in Lausanne. After getting a good night's sleep, a lot of us branched off and did our own thing. Higger and Alvaro went with Professor Ryan and Burton to Vevey and Montros, two small towns about 20 minutes outside of where we are staying. They said they had a good time walking around checking out the place and relaxing in the sun. Their day sounded like a success.

Another group of us got up around 11 and went out to breakfast at a delicious ice cream and waffle stand right by the edge of the water. I couldn't tell you how delightful my cinnamon and vanilla ice cream waffle was; easily the best breakfast I've had on this trip hands down. After the orgasmic waffles, the guys "little"Matt, Steve, Jake, Drew, Chad, and I played each other in a real life chess match.

A game was set up with humongous chess pieces for the public to play in the little square by the water. Matt and I won with minor help from the peanut gallery, Chad. Drew and Jake gave us a run for our money, well Chad's money that is because he bet on the outlook of the game. But no money was lost because the bet was placed on the best team, Matt and I. Hahaha no hard feelings boys.

After chess, our group met up with the rest of the guys right before they were about to go paddle boating. We tagged along and spent a few hours out on Lake Geneva just paddling and swimming in the crystal clear Swiss water. The water was so nice, a little cold but still refreshing. I didn't want to get out but our hour time slot was up so we headed back to land to enjoy the rest of our evening.

Sam, "big" Matt, Davis, Boepple and I spent a good hour and a half outside enjoying the sunlight before the Barcelona and Manchester United game. We plan to watch it all together at our favorite spot, The White Horse, a pub right beside our hotel. But that isn't until another hour. Right now we are just relaxing and catching up on our journals and homework. And Sam just shockingly mooned a wedding bus from our hotel window. These guys are hilarious and a good group of boys to travel with. I've been having the time of my life with them. I don't know what the night has in store for us, but I know our last night in Lausanne will be one to remember.

Bon soir tout le monde!
Tomorrow we'll be in Greece.
