switzerland!

so for my study abroad this summer, we were supposed to go to italy, greece, turkey, and egypt; but as i'm sure you know egypt hasn't been doin so well lately. since we don't want to, you know, die this summer, we've had to abandon our plans to see the pyramids in favor of a safer land.
what could be safer than switzerland, eternally neutral?




besides the obvious gorgeous landscape and amazing chocolate,
we also might get the chance to visit this place:


i went to switzerland with my parents when i was three, but i don't feel like that even really happened because all i remember is the cobblestones! i'm very excited to see the place that my mom would move to "in a heartbeat" if she had the chance. :)
