Post-Orientation, Pre-Internship


Since arriving in Switzerland, I have been evading fatigue rather unsuccessfully. The culprit: a jam-packed itinerary that keeps us (the KSU students) on our feet from dawn until dusk. I can't complain though - we've seen some amazing sights these first 3 days of our Swiss excursion.

This is the view of the Alps from our Chalet. Amazing.



Our Orientation involved spending a couple of days at a Chalet in Coul-des-Mosses, which was amazing, though I would prefer to see it snow covered (which is a possibility in the coming months). Here are a few pictures from hiking/exploration:

The Chalet was great. Essentially, we saw how cheese is traditionally made and went on a hike to a lake. It was great. Since I am obviously failing to communicate how awesome this was verbally, here are some photos:





Essentially, it was beautiful.
