Zermatt Rotary Gathering

All the rotary exchange students in Switzerland(like 120 or so) went to Zermatt for the weekend. It was great, everybody had a lot of fun. Most of saturday was spent getting to zermatt. It took me about 8 hours to get there. After that we had free time, and then went to a museum an hour before dinner. We had fondue(my first time). I thought it was pretty good. We slept on saturday in groups in different hotels, depending on whether you chose to go skiing snowboarding or "hiking". The group of hikers I was with got a 4 star hotel--pretty cool, but one group of unfortunates got a hostel. Sunday we took the lifts up to the little matterhorn-almost 13000 feet(air was rather thin). We didnt actually go hiking, but there was an ice palace in the glacier and some great views of the mountains. That was pretty much it. It was just awesome to be with the other exchange students. The pics: We had a view of the matterhorn from our balcony actually. Then the palace and the peak of the mountain we were on(you can probably tell that it was cold and windy).
