A rundown of Europe: Details to Come

As very few of you know, I went to Europe as part of the Utah Ambassadors of Music choir. It was a two week tour through 7 countries (well, 6 because Lichtenstein took us all of 15 minutes to drive through and we didn't perform there). We first went to London for 3 days. We toured the city on a coach as well as on foot. The band performed in a large park, while we performed in a small chapel, as well as a larger one. I got roughly 300 pictures. BUT, while loading the Ferry to France, I accidentally deleted them all while trying to delete a picture of a friend. I spent the ride across the English Channel crying. London was such an amazing place that I might never see again, and I was devastated. When in France, we stayed outside of Paris (because hotels inside the city are awfully expensive), visiting the usual tourist attractions such as the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower.We took a boat tour down the Seine where we were given the history of each bridge we passed under. After France we drove to Switzerland. Switzerland is the most beautiful place I have ever been. The Alps are sooooo gorgeous. Utah mountains put me to sleep now compared to the Alps. The valleys are covered in fields of corn, wheat, fruit trees, and vineyards. We stayed in a resort like area called Crans-Montana (for those who live in Utah, it's like Park City on crack). We toured the Castle of Chillon, and did several concerts. Our final night we had a goodbye fondue party with several performers as our entertainment. After Switzerland, we drove to Lichtenstein. We had lunch there, so even though the drive took only 15 ish minutes, we were there for an hour. On to Austria! I fell asleep, and was woken up by a recording of "The hills are alive with the sound of music!" playing loudly over the system.We stayed in the city of Seefeld, yet another resort like town. The first night we traveled up the mountain and watched the sunset. The next day we went to Innsbruck and sang in the Wilten Basilica and visited the Olympic ski jump. We drove back to Austria and had a goodbye party from the people of the city. We enjoyed a fondue party with the REAL swiss cheese, not that crap stuff with holes in it. Be careful: you drop it in the pot you gotta kiss all the opposite gender on your table. After the fondue, we were entertained by swiss bands, Alp horns, dancers, and interactive activities. It was fantastic. The next day we got up at 4:30 and drove 6 hours to Italy. we spent about an hour touring Venice, then on to the glass factory. We were then given an hour to do our shopping and wandering before our concert in St. Mark's Basilica. After a short concert tucked into a corner of the Basilica, we were given one last hour before we were to meet at the Two Columns and leave. Gelato: Curse you for being so good. Ice cream will never be quite the same ever again. After a water taxi took us back to the bus, we drove back to Austria. We arrived around 10, where we packed our stuff for the next's day journey to Germany. Germany came quickly. We visited Dachau before we went to our hotel. We stopped at a restaurant and had our first (and my LAST) German salad. Fresh lettuce, pickled everything else. the carrots, beans, beans, and peppers were all pickled. Their dressing was a huge helping of sour cream. ....ew. We went to our hotels, and wandered the town of Rothenburg. Now I'm getting REALLY bored of writing this. So that's all I'm gonna post for now.
