Today, we finally got to sleep in.
It was absolutely glorious, and well deserved in my opinion,.
We slept in a little and left to go to the Olympic Museum, arriving at 10 AM. Sleeping in turned out to be an awful idea as we were an hour late for our guided tour. Our tour guide took us through all three levels of the museum. The upper level , where you begin the tour focuses on the history of the games. From there you move down a level that talks about the actual sports and their development over time. Finally at the bottom level you are taught about the Olympic village and the bonds that the athletes make while at the games After the guided tour, Professor Ryan gave his own guided tour and then let us go and do whatever we wanted.
After the Museum some of us caught a bus down to this huge Pool area. We paid to get into the pool which was right next to the lake and featured two pools, a bunch of diving boards, and a slew of field space and volleyball courts. We tried to swim, but it was too cold and a bunch of us chickened out. So, we decided to take our talents to the Volleyball court, where my team of Nicole, Steph, Candace and I dominated the team of Stina, Tom, Staci and Emily. Tom's team claimed that both teams were evenly matched, but obviously our team was significantly better and were crowned world Champions of Swiss Volleyball.
That night we ate dinner as a group at this Swiss pub that was downtown. There I had some of the best ribs I have had in a while. The sauce was a little to vinegary, but the ribs were well seasoned with fresh thyme and a hint of basil. The Swiss evidently know how to do Chocolate and Ribs.
