Bad Ragaz Cave....

Today we went to bad ragaz(bahd rahgahts) and we walked up to the caves where there are hot springs. they were discovered in the 8th century, and have been used for health purposes since about the 16th century i believe. it was hot and humid on the way up, but when we got in the canyon it dropped probably at least 20 degrees. and then when we were in the caves it was really hot again. it was so beautiful and interesting, i took some pictures but it was really dark so theyre not as good as i wanted them to be. after the walk we went for a coffee at one of the restaurants(the coffee`s so good here! :>) bad ragaz is also a very nice town, its famous for golf.

well, as for other things, I seem to be understanding german better, and a little swiss german. I still have two weeks left with the german course, Ill be sad when its over, because i like seeing the other exchange students everyday, even though rotary doesnt really encourage that :P I found out the other day that i only live about 30 minutes from italy! so i really want to go soon. and i only live 15 minutes from liechtenstein, and probably to same from austria. so i cant wait until i can travel more outside of CH. :) (oh, i found out that CH stands for Confoederatio Helvetica, the latin name for switzerland, i had been wondering :P) anyways, time to help with dinner. I hope i won`t wait so long until writing again, who knows :)
