Rugby and Trainpasses

Sunday's game went really well, we won 52 - 12 which seems really great but when you consider the other team played with 11 guys V. our 15 for, say oh, half the game that number seems a lot less impressive. Regardless of numbers the Bishops have another win. On another note i go to Germany on friday for Oktoberfest with a friend Olag, from St Gallen University and the rugby team. We hope to meet up with some of the other rugby guys so we'll see how it all goes.
Also I activated my train pass and reserved my ticket for Munich which, with the pass, only costs me 5 CHF (Swiss Franks). Hopefully, by the end of this trip that train pass will pay for itself because 1200 dollars is alot to spend on a piece of paper, even if it does give me access to almost every train and ferry in Europe for the next 3 months. Actually i take that back, thats a lot of free travel! So i look forward to Friday and live for today.
Until next time....

Europe So Far... Switzerland

Ok so this will be my first of quite a few of these i think, and i hope everyone will enjoy looking over these and seeing what i've been up to. Its the 24th of September and two weeks since i landed in europe. So far i've just been setteling in to the house im staying in, in Grub, Switzerland which is about an hour train ride from Zurich, the financial capital of Switzerland and most of the world. everything has been great so far, meeting people, seeing new and exciting places as well as some very historic but equally as exciting places, and just having a very relaxing time of it. i've done my best to keep up with the photos so everyone can see a bit of what i see and most of those are posted on my facebook. And i've started playing rugby with the local club called the St. Gallen Bishops which is a great group of guys from all different ages and backgrounds. I, shockingly enough, am the only American and they've thrown me into the Number 10 position which im not entirely used to but at this lower level of play (it's third division mens club) i feel pretty comfortable and have been helping coach the backs which again not used to but like i said its a pretty low level of play. I even scored in my first game with them and they put my name on the website http://www.bishops.ch/bishops.ch/Home.html which is all in German but about half way down my name pops up. We won that game which put us second in the standings so we'll see what the rest of the season holds and how the game this sunday turns out.
Next week i go to Germany and Oktoberfest so ill definately update everyone with the happenings with that
Thanks Everyone for your support.
