Busy, busy, busy

Sorry for the delay in updates. The battery on the iPhone died and
even if it hadn't we have been in the strangest places over the last
couple of days with no wifi. This one will be short and I don't know
how many pictures I got before the battery went out, but we made it to
Paris ok. The metro system there is crazy. In fact the only thing
crazier than the public transportation system is the hobos that hang
around in it. They were a blast to watch though, and it was great to
be in another country where it didn't matter language you spoke
because nobody truly understands "crazy". The Eiffel Tower was fun
and, like all the things we saw in Paris, really really cold.

From Paris we moved on to Bayeux (Normandie) where it was much
colder, but both of us agreed afterwards that we still would have done
it again to see the WWII beaches. There's some cool pictures that I'll
be excited to show when I get back. (there might be some in the
slideshow too, I'll have to double check).

From Bayeux it was about a half day trip to Fribourg that ended
around 11:30p last night. This morning we got up and left for the
slopes were Liz and I made sad attempts at snowboarding. Still lots of
fun and now we can both say we've gone skiing/snowboarding in the
Alps. I know for sure I don't have any pictures to upload (yet), which
is sad because its been probably one of the most beautiful and scenic
parts of our vacation thus far. Both Liz and I were guilty of spending
extra time in the snow after a fall to simply stare at the mountain
ranges all around us.

So I guess this was a little bit longer than I thought it would be,
but wifi spots have been few and far between so I wanted to get as
much as I could while I had the chance. I'll charge up the battery as
best I can and try to write more for whatever connection we stumble on
next. I'm thinking the hustle will start to slow after the weekend and
we'll have more down time to write once we hit Venice and Rome.
