The Bucket List!

As many of you know, I have a bucket list!
Now one of the coolest things on my bucket list was bungy jumping!
And after many years waiting, it finally happened!

Here is the picture of me with (of course) thumbs up!

Thumbs up!
Going down!

Bouncing!


This week was a lot of fun. Julito visited me in Lausanne and then we went and spent the weekend in Interlaken. It is a town in the mountains where there's a lot of outdoors. When we got there we signed in at the hostel and asked about bungy jumping, they called, signed us up, and in 30 minutes we were on our way to bungy jump! haha That's when I updated my FB status, and yes it was an awesome day! Here are some pictures from the jump and the group of people we met. We ended up making some friends that we saw later during the next days.

Everyone said they were going to visit me in Europe this summer...
Julito is the only true one! haha
We had a great group of jumpers. Here we are!
On our way to Interlaken we stopped by Bern. Einstein used to live in this city, so we visited his place. Next day we went hiking for about ~20 miles. We saw some interesting towns and some funny things. One of them was a store based on Honesty. They have things and if you wanna buy them you just get it and leave the money. This can only work in Switzerland, haha. We went out after the hike to celebrate fourth of July. The we ran into our new friends Ted and Kristin. She is a marathon runner and here I quote her "seven minute pace". We had a fun night and celebrated the 4th although we missed the fireworks.

This is where Einstein used to live.

Amazing views all over.


A cold lake.




I almost fell but survived.

A nice view.

An honesty store.
"Don't quote me on this"

After a long and fun weekend in Interlaken I went to Geneva and met Carlos. A friend from high school who I hadn't seen in a very long time. We went to grab lunch at Holy Cow, the best burger place around here. And then we went to the river for a swim. We jumped from the bridge and it was awesome! The river is very nice and its a popular spot during the summer. It was great seeing him after so many years in Switzerland!

The bridge we jumped from.

Carlos and a vending machine for squeezed orange juice!
 Now the vending machines around here don't stop to amaze me. I saw this one which squeezes oranges and fresh juice comes out. But I think the weirdest thing I've seen so far is a pregnancy test kit on a vending machine.

Yes, that is a pregnancy test kit next to the cigarettes.
