Quick trip to Florence! Met up with Delaney for lunch- she is at a leather making school. Safe to say I will be back for Florence soon.

Spent the day in Como, Italy. By far one of the greatest places I've been.

Today I walked down to Lugano and wanted to find a cafe to study at. I stumbled upon a fresh food market similar to Whole Foods!

Snowboarding in St Moritz + 5 mile hike through Val de Roseg to a restaurant for lunch

[ellenrayswitzerland]

Today we hiked through the Val de Fex it took about two hours up and then we ate lunch at a restaurant at the top. We then took the sleds all the way down to the bottom. It was a great start to 2015!!

The bobsledding track. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

[ellenrayswitzerland]

we went "sledging" down from Preda to Bergun which is the longest sledding track to date it's over 5km! We did it at night and the views were like a fairytale. It reminded me of the polar express because we passed under railways and it was snowing the whole time. The last photos are of San Gein Catedral right near the house in Celerina (St Moritz)

It snowed today & has been 5 degrees for the past three days! the first photo is of the original train that we took to the top of the mountain to eat lunch. the view is supposed to be amazing but it was foggy from the snow.

St Moritz

We went to mass Christmas Eve which was in German. Callie Ken Sarah Matt and I played endless games of evil apples (cards against humanity) over the three days. My train ride to St. Moritz was beautiful. St. Moritz uses almost the same symbol as Sun Valley it feels like home. Sierra sent me a gift all the way from sun valley!

Our first experience at a disco in Switzerland was a lot of fun! For Christmas dinner the boys tried a kangaroo dish which is what is shown above. Overall a very fun holiday in Grindelwald. Now off to St. Moritz and hopefully some snow!

Grindelwald with the Crews! Thanks Ken and Matt for icing us on the way up the gondola. We barely survived sledding down the slope and the zip line but it was a great Christmas Eve

[ellenrayswitzerland]

The Christmas crafts never end. Callie's family adopted me for Christmas so I am meeting them (hopefully if I figure out the train station as I have to switch trains twice) in Grindelwald for the next few days. I'm excited to have no responsibilities and play for a little!
