Basel is the one of the most bike-friendly cities. Being able to bike everywhere is actually one of the things that Nate and I love most about living here.
After adjusting to the time change, Paige was off to start her journey at L'Abri. It is located up in the mountains in the French part of Switzerland, so we had to take a tram, two trains and a bus to get there, but we had amazing views just about the whole way! Once Paige got settled, we said our goodbyes, but I knew we'd be seeing each other again soon...
After 5 weeks of being at L'Abri, Paige returned to Basel and had so much to tell me... if you'd like to read about her journey there, you can check out her blog: www.wherelifeishidden.wordpress.comPaige was with Nate and I for about a week, but Nate had to work during the week, so Paige and I ventured out on our own to see some of the cities in Switzerland. One day, we visited Luzern and Zurich. Here are some pictures of our day trip...
Another day, we went to Bern to visit one of Paige's friends, Jesse, from L'Abri. Paige loved riding the trams :)
I loved seeing Bern because it was my first time.
The Capital building.
We walked around the city, had lunch, then we decided to apparently work off our lunch by climbing the tower of Bern's cathedral... but it was worth it to get to the top. 
Looking down from the top... the color of the river was incredible.
There is a huge drop off under Jesse's feet and he was making me nervous sitting there, but in his defense, there were nets below. They were put up to prevent suicides (sad).
Paige & Jesse
The next day we went to the Berner Oberland region to do some hiking. Since it was a Saturday, Nate could join us and you know that he never passes up a hike!
The views were absolutely incredible from start to finish. Jesse was able to join us for the hike too. He always made it interesting because he liked to climb or go to the edge of anything dangerous! That is him and Paige in the distance...
Nate & Jesse were skipping rocks on the lake and Jake wanted to chase them down. He soon realized that the water was freezing and started doing a whiny bark because he was torn whether to go in or not!
We saw quite a bit of wildlife... goats, sheep, cows, and pigs. It was really neat getting up close to them!
Enjoying the view... and the break. :)
Me & Paige
Nate stayed back to get a picture of us hiking. Can you find us?
We passed a herd of cows and Jake was terrified!
This is my favorite picture... I just wish Nate could have been in it too!
On Paige's last travel day, we went to the town of Colmar, France. You probably remember it from one of our first blogs. It is an adorable French town that we love to take people to...
After all that traveling, I know you were exhausted, but we hope you enjoyed your time in Switzerland Paige!
