Finally!!!!! Snow!!!!

Notters hit the Road......
Alright, here goes: travel is amazing, we are terribly spoiled, and i can't imagine another 3 plus weeks of these amazing experiences..... right now, i'm in an internet cafe in the middle of the Swiss/French alps, attempting to download a few precious pictures onto blogger, while paying over 1.30 US dollars (one Euro) per every ten minutes.... so i'll be brief...

It finally feels christmassy.... snow, tons of lights, mountains, real live christmas trees.... it feels so good to be away from the dreary, murky land of England and in a land where Christmas feels like it should......

So far our accomodations ahve been amazing... Aaron found us a great appartment (all to our own) for only 7 us dollars per person per night... we have a kitchen, two balconies, amazing views, a fridge, a dishwasher, and all the cheap wine we want for less than 3 dollars a bottle. I even managed to find a beer called Fischer, which i've been enjoying....

It's amazing what the langauge barrier can do- almost everone here is bilingual, but i still feel like an ignorant foreigner for having no idea what i'm trying to say in French....

This place is so amazing, i can't really imagine leaving... our free time here is so relaxed and so laid back, that the prospect of trying to tackle huge cities like Prague and Munich in two or three days seems almost businesslike and monotonous. I'm just trying ot soak up the chilled atmosphere and cheap wi ne for now, and maybe later i'll convince myself that moving on is a good idea....

Aaron, basking in the glory that is his ability to book hostels.....

Until later,
