About to leave

Here are a couple photos from our trip to the Jungfraujoch, the highest trainstation in Europe. (Over 11,000 feet!)

Our last night in Europe turned out to be a very exciting one. We were in Zurich just next to the train station so we could get to the airport quickly in the morning. Since it was our last night we decided that seeing a movie in english would be fun so we decided to walk down to the "cinema". If you have been paying attention to the soccer world you may know that Switzerland and Austria are hosting the Euro Cup 2008. Well Switzerland happened to be playing Turkey last night and the was a huge outdoor pavilion with gigantic screens set up to for thousands of people to watch their national team play. We walked right through the middle of all the hoopla just before the game began. It's hard to put into words the passion that Europeans have for soccer and their national teams, but most if not all the kids would agree that our passion for the Vols (Or in my case Auburn) is nothing compared to what we walked through last night. I was actually fearful for the fans that were wearing Turkish flags.

Once we got to the theater we realized it was closed. Apparently they don't watch movies when a game is being played. Instead we ate one last meal at the Zeughauskeller. We returned to the hotel for our last night in Europe, and this morning we checked in and are now waiting to board the plane to fly home. We'll see you in about 18 hours.

A couple last things:

First, Chip is going to try and convince everyone that he meant to scream like that when the birds flew up in his face. DON'T BELIEVE HIM!!!

Second, we've had a great time on this trip, but it has, at times been exhausting and here are some photos to prove it.
