Flood, Wine Tasting, and Planning Interlaken

          This past Sunday was eventful to say the least. While it was raining and hailing, we noticed our courtyard had about 4 inches of rain. Then realized the rain began rushing into our apartment. It was funny at the time  but when we had to clean it up...not so much. We figured out we had to unclog the drain and the problem was solved. 
          After a full day on monday, we finished the day with our first wine tasting. Now I actually have something to think about while drinking wine besides how bad I'm going to feel in the morning. We learned the three steps of identifying the wine are visual analysis, olfactory analysis, and gustative analysis. 
         Coming into this study abroad trip, I knew my one big weekend was going to be a trip to Interlaken, Switzerland. We started booking the trip and we should have about 15 of us going which will be fun. We are going through bus2alps and get to stay at the Balmers Hostel. And, we get a discount since we are bring more than 10 people, which is pretty awesome. Cant wait to skydive (maybe)!

Oh, and I finally got to skype Julien.
