So we decided to take a day trip into Lucern, spelled Luzern in German. After about a hour and 
a half train ride we arrived into Lucern at about 10. We first went and walked across the 2 original bridges that have been in existence since the town was first established. They are old, wooden and have various painting hanging from the cieling. Those painting are from around the 16-17th century and are the originals. Amazing to think that that something that was built so long ago still stands today. After that we went to the famous Weeping Lion monument. It is a statue carved into the side of a mountain. Very impressive. Then we went into some tourist complex. It had an old glacier, museum, a tower that offered amazing views of the city, and the most fun exhibit the house/maze of mirrors. Spent an hour in the maze mostly taking pictures, some of them looked photoshopped. Went and ate lunch after that. My meal was basically a huge portion of hashbrowns covered in cheese bacon and ham. It was good. The other girls had fondue. After that we went to a museum. It was basically a huge warehouse with various things scattered about. Everything had a barcode on or in front of it and you used a scanner that read the barcode. It was pretty fun. After that we went to a church and then went and got some pints at a pub along the river to end the day. While there one of the girls pointed out that in Europe you see just about every man pushing the stroller or carrying the baby. Literally everyone of them the man pushes the stroller or carries the child while the woman walks beside. They both commented on the fact that that is how it should be. I kept my mouth quiet, mostly because I was outnumbered. Gotta pick your battles. Left at about 7. All in all it was a fun day.
