D3=Lord Byron and Chateau de Chillon---this day we went to the awesome Olympic Museum. It was very cool. All the neat sculptures and photography was amazing loved it!!! The theme for the museum of the year was Heros. I loved seeing all the old clothing from back then, what the athletes had worn and now today in our society its very different yet there are some similarities.
Also we visited the castle of Chateau de Chillon. Very beautiful inside and out!!! We journeyed our way on Lake Geneva and this castle is actually one of the main highlight of Switzerland. This castle used to be a prison. It was a good and sunshiney day:)
D4=KKL(culture and congress hall), Dyion Lion Monument---Now the Dying Lion Monument was incredible. Its a sculpture of a dying lion...hence...and it is in Luzern, Switz. This was carved out of wall of sandstone rock. This monument was designed and dedicated to the memorial for the mercenary soldiers from central Switzerland who had lost their lives while serving French King Louis XV1 during the French Revolution.
If my mom had seen this her impression would have been unhappy:( shes a leo and loves lions.
Anyways the boat ride was fun and didn't rain towards the end of the day so not bad at all:P
D5=well this morning i woke up and was very tired from these long days of traveling we are doing, but i ate a good breakfast, built up energy and was on my way for another fun and exciting adventure:)
Today we went to Nyon, Switz and Yvoire, France. FRANCE!!! WOW I went to 2 countires today!!! France is just right across from Switzerland. Just take a boat ride there:P In Nyon we went to a cool museum called Leman Museum. It was about life guarding and fishing and all the water events and such that happen in Switzerland. The Red Cross(life guarding) is actually located in Switzerland. Their was a lot of neat facts, documents, videos and objects they used for water. Very cool:)
Then we went across to France!!! The city of Yvoire is this pretty old town filled with beautiful flowers everywhere. Their was a fun shopping area, all the little shops filled with different things such as clothes, jewelry made by hand, pottery, and the food was deeeelicious:) had a panini, sweet crepe:) anyways we also sketched the castle that was in Yvoire. Very very beautiful, just the architecture was amazing and i love how old and medieval it looked like. All the castles I've seen are unique in every way. I am going to live in a castle and I am going to build and decorate my castle ooohhh beat that:P haha
