Fribourg, Murten, and the 4th of July


On Friday, Fourth of July, Ryan had the day off and we decided it would be fun to do a little exploring. So we went off to a small town out side of Bern called Fribourg, which is on the hills and part of it is on the side of the this steep canyon made by a small river. We had a lot of fun wandering around, eating bad kebabs and being followed around by a couple of bees. We then decided to head to a lake town called Murten. This lake was pretty neat and famous for finding tons of really old Celtic artifacts at the bottom of the lake. We ended the day by going to the ambassadors house who was having a huge party for 4th of July. The food was pretty good, but I felt so out of place. It was casual dress, but people had just come from work (The Swiss people don't get 4th of July off unless they work at the US Embassy) and were all dressed up really nice anyway. It was really nice! no fireworks though.
This concludes our story.
