Last Friday i got out of schoool at like 2:00, so i decided to take a trip to Luzern. There are some other exchange students there that i get along really well with. It was actually just a girl day!! it was really nice!! haha Luzern is GORGEOUS!!! its on a lake!! its sooo prety!! ahh!! well we walked around the town for a little bit. While we were walking, we heard some people speaking english so we stopped and then maggie screamed "Does anybody speak english here???" like really loud. And a lady in the group turned around and said, yes we do. It turns out, the group is from Austrailia. There were two teenage girls, a middle aged woman and an older couple. The middle aged woman was in Hungray for rowing i think, and so the family came to watch and they decided to travel all over europe since they were spending the money anyways. We talked with them for a while and the exchangers from Luzern told them what they should see. Maggie also asked if they would send her Tim Tams, which is some kind of candy. Im not sure exactly what it is, but she loves them. haha They said they would send her some! haha So now when maggie gets them, we're gonna have a tim tam party. So we then went to a bakery and got some muffins!!! blueberry muffins!! they were amazing!!! haha Oh and while we were walking we saw this guy painting a mural and it was of this castle and i did a puzzle of that castle with anna back in the states!! we did it one night! and it was like 500 pieces! We went to see an old church, and we played on a playground for a while! it was wayyy fun!!! Then we went to the Lion Monument which is for all the Swiss Soldiers that died in the wars. There we met another english speaking couple!! They asked us to take a picture of them in english and so we all started talking to them!! They were an older couple from South Carolina and the guy was a Rotarian. He was on a sebatical of some sort, history i think but i dont remember. The girls from Luzern then told them what they should do while they're in Luzern. and we talked to them about our exchange and stuff. We also gave them advice about food. After we left the couple, we went and had kebabs for dinner! They're the BEST food ever!! its kinda hard to explain.. so here are some pics i found on the internet....
