Gryon, Geneva, Madrid.... its getting pretty busy!

Now I am in Geneva Switzerland with only 4 minutes to spare before I run and catch the train to the airport. We have an early flight at 6am and will be spending the majority of the night in the airport.
The short stay in Gryon was spectacular landscape wise, but much less so concerning good conversations and meeting people. Genveva is proving to be much the same way... However this time has been good for my team to bond together and learn to love each other. We found a place to rent bikes for free by paying a deposit, and chris and I rode around Geneva with nowhere in mind- we ended up way on the outskirts of the city, and decided to backtrack our path once we started seeing goats and donkeys. At one point we had to carry our bikes up 4 flights of stairs. Needless to say, next time we will bring a better map with us.
After that the four of us went to a cathedral from the late 1400s, the very cathedral that the renowned John Calvin spoke in. It is a famous church from the reformation days. I wish Dad could have been there to see it!
Well, unfortunately, my minutes are up.
Dearest Brother, Have a happy birhtday!!! I wish I could have been there with you!
And dear Summer, I also wish i could have warped back to New Mex to be there for Heidi and your shower.. I miss you guys!!
Over and Out.
Love Becca

Closing Time...

After way too much delay, I am posting again. The last two weeks here have been wonderful. I saw the fjords, climbed two mountains, helped build 64 beds and a million loads of laundry and dishes, saw my dear sweet mother who came miles and oceans away to visit me, watched a super sweet Brann football (soccer) game, and am now working the night shift for the hostel on its first day of being open. Its been so fun to get to work hard and see so much progress being made, as well as get to know the people here. Tonight we have about 10 guests, pretty good for our first day.
Building the beds for the hostel was a whole lot of hard work, and it was exceptionally hot for Bergen on those two days. Thankfully, several of Haakon's friends came and helped us build too.




Tonight I made waffels for the guests. Its pretty fun to have the responsibility of taking care of people and helping them out.
More pictures to come. Hadebra!
