Europe 2017

What a trip!

These are a few pictures from my trip to Germany and Switzerland. I have arrived on 25 April and I will leave on 8 May (next Monday). Being with my family and many friends is great. I enjoy every minute even if my scale will tell a tough story once I get home 🙂

Glad that you’re enjoying yourself Chris! Have fun!

The view from your parents house and the church in BS brought back many wonderful memories. Especially the two times your parents invited me over for home cooked meals. Jam know
