Free Day!
Amanda here: We are now in Besancon. Imagine there is a little foot hanging off that “c” there. I apparently fail at adding accent marks with my iPad.
Yesterday was a free day with our host families, which I am sure we were all happy to have as we have been going non-stop. Amy and I are lucky enough to both be hosted by Yves and Martine Kerleroux. Their son Thomas and daughter-in-law Ann were kind enough to collect us in the morning and take us to Switzerland, which is only an hour and a half away. After an excellent lunch, we went to the Olympic Museum. Here is Thomas, with me and Amy. We are standing underneath the high jump bar for the men’s Olympic record. 
The gardens were lovely and had some amazing sculptures depicting different sports. 
The museum had everything from ancient Greek Olympic artifacts, to the torches from the last 20 years. There were even articles of clothing or equipment donated by the athletes. I was especially interested in the bow from one of the archers at the Beijing games. The weather was wonderful and we weren’t the only ones taking advantage of it. Our day in Switzerland ended with a stroll along Lake Geneva before we headed back to our new home.

It appears you are having a wonderful time. I am so happy for you. I enjoyed reading about how different their courts are. Keep thinking and come back with some really great ideas k. Enjoy. H
Wow, Switzerland must have been fun. Glad you got to experience the Olympic museum, that looks like a lot of fun. Considering how tall Amy is that High Jump looks HUGE!
I look tiny standing between Amy and Thomas!
Imagine Switzerland only an hour and a half away!!! Remember Utah is only 25 minutes away from you here Amanda.
To make the correct mark on the iPad hold down the letter C and it will open alternative characters that look like the letter C. That is all.
I would much rather have Switzerland an hour and a half away than Utah being next to us. Can we trade?
Amanda – looks like you are having a wonderful trip! The pictures are amazing and this is so fascinating to be able to “follow” your group. Can’t wait to hear about it all when you’re home!
