Apparently Snowboarding Isn't Allowed in the Train

These stickers were found on the ceiling every five feet or so on the train that takes us from Leysin to Aigle. Today we went to Vevey. It was pretty cool. We got there a little early so we walked around a farmers market for a bit and then went to a museum that actually had quite a few prints in it. It was cool to see some of Albrecht Durer and Picasso's originals, along with a couple Japanese woodcuts. From there we went down to a photo museum which was probably my favorite building I've ever been in (as far as the style of it goes). The buildings seem pretty typical of what you will see in Switzerland. It's such a great style that has so much character. Once you get inside this museum it's all very modern. The museum actually takes up segments of two buildings and is connected both underground and by a bridge on either the third or forth floor. Vevey is right on Lake Geneva and after that we got on a boat that took us to Chateau de Chillon, this big castle right on the edge of the water.Tomorrow we leave for St. Bernard's Pass where we are getting away from our normal lives in order to slow things down for a bit. What that means is that for the next couple days we will not have our computers with us, nor access to one. So hopefully in a couple days I'll have a bunch of cool pictures to post.
