    Hey Michael! It was fun hearing about your trip tonight! When you are in Switzerland, be sure to try Rugenbrau beer. It’s on the lighter side, but both Lauren and I really enjoyed it. I’m looking forward to seeing photos this summer!

    Most times I will be using trains. I purchased a 3 month Rail Pass for $1,296. I might be using buses if I have to, such as in Croatia and Bosnia.
