Aaahhh what do I say, although we have many adventures in front of us, it has been a bittersweet week of goodbyes and memories as I get ready to head back to the states in a couple weeks. On Thursday we went to visit some old farms, and I mean OLD. Like, older than the colonization of the USA old. Some of the farms we visited have been operating since the 15th and 16th centuries. Wow.
A friend took us to a cheese and dairy farm where baby calves sucked on my fingers:)

| An awesome water trough made from an entire tree. |
 |
| That barrel thing? It's an outdoor sauna! |
 |
| There it is! The oldest farm in Lenzkirch. |
 |
| Another angle of the same farm... |
 |
| The farmers keep fruit/vegetables in that hut you see |
 |
| Making cheese. Just imagine the smell in this room. |
 |
| This farmer ages his cheese for 6 months before being sold |
We said our goodbyes this week to friends (but hopefully we will get to see everyone very soon). We had dinner with Ben's parents, brother and sister in-law at an American-style steakhouse. We tried Kangaroo, and it actually tasted really good. We also visited the falls on the Rhein in Switzerland. It was beautiful and much larger than what Google Images bring up! It was a little rainy!

If you look closely, you can see people climbing up the rock in the middle of the falls.

I am packing up my things and finishing up my assignments. But before I go, I will take a hop, skip and a jump to Munich for Oktoberfest (I've already witnessed Germany being crowned World Cup champs, now I have to mark off one of the most cultural festivities: the original Oktoberfest). I have some very special friends boarding a plane in a couple hours that I will meet for a visit! Very excite. I will miss an upcoming blog or two but until then, Auf Wiedersehen :)
