I'm back!

I am back and posting! Now it's time for me journal entries - so here is day 1

DAY 1:
WE DEPART...

Leaving Madrid was really hard but it is exciting to travel. The take-off was when I started to get emotional. I was NOT feeling ready to leave. Coming into Switzerland was great though. The mountains are beautiful and the grass is green. After Wendy and I left the airport we got on a bus that was supposed to take us to the train station in about fifteen or twenty minutes. After ten minutes we were at a stop that had a lot of people get on so we moved our bags onto our laps and sat together (previouly Wendy was sitting behind me and our bags were on the seats next to us). It took us about forty-five minutes to realize that that was the stop we should have gotten off at. Luckily, the bus circled around and went back to the train station. We were on that bus for almost an hour and a half. Then we realized the hostel we wanted to stay at closed at 8pm and it was already 9. So we stayed ate a more expensive one, ate dinner at McDonalds and watched CNN while smoking the french "ciggies" that we bought (for the whole European experience) and drinking the beer we got out of the vending machine. All we could do was laugh.
