Non-IFYE fun (free time)

I spent two weeks traveling between my IFYE requirements in Austria and Greece. Some of the things I did on my free time was return for a visit with my third host family. After that I went to Switzerland. I spent most of my time in Zurich and the town close to it. I went to Zurich to meet up with my friend Lacy. Lacy is staying with her sister's family that lives in Zurich. Lacy is currently helping out with the family that just recently moved there. I got to stay in Zurich for five nights. It was so nice to stay with an American family. I was so happy to spend time with a close friend and do some great sight seeing. One night Lacy and I went on a Ghost Tour in Zurich, it was the most entertaining thing ever. We loved the tour guide, very funny, plus it was nice seeing different parts of the city. After that I took an overnight train from Zurich to Vienna, where I spent 3 days before I flew to Greece on Friday 19 September. I have tons of stories from my three days in Vienna, some you will need to hear from me in person or request by e-mail. I did make a new friend, Maria, who is German and lives in London. I went to an opera, two museums (with one artist being from Boulder CO!), saw The Dark Night (in English), and saw a lot of statues. For as many naps that I took I still feel like I did a lot in Vienna. I have a cold and was trying let my body rest and heal before coming to Greece, it didn't work, I don't think all of the rain has been helping. I am bringing rain to everyone, arrr. The flight from Vienna to Greece on Austrian airlines, I think, was one of my most enjoyable flying experiences. The seats were the biggest I've ever had. and they had I hot food! I like the Canadians that I sat next to, they spoke English, it was great.
