Lucerne, Switzerland

Sorry it has been a few days since my last post. We are in Lucerne, Switzerland and having a blast. We arrived yesterday and walked around this beautiful city. Today we climbed along the very old city wall and up several watch towers. Then we went on a boat cruise on Lake Lucerne and stopped over in Vitznau & Weggis (not pronounced like you think... it is like Veggi). Tonight we had pizza and delicious Bailey`s ice cream for dinner/dessert.
We went to Innsbruck on Tuesday. We loved it there and we so glad Katie recommended it to us. We went to the ski jump that was used in 2 Olympics. We also went to a Bell Museum which was very interesting. Then we had our first (and hopefully only) disapointment of the trip... the Swarovski Factory. It was really weird and all about fantasy. Then went went to the giftshop and were not impressed. There were stores in town that had a better selection. We wanted to see how the crystals were made and did not learn anything. Needless to say if you end up in Innsbruck skip the Swarovski Factory. You can look at my pictures instead. :)
Tomorrow we head up to Bitburg to visit John, Becca & Wes!!! We are very excited to spend time with them.
I will be home on the 14th and back at work on the 15th...
