Today we went to Solothurn and saw the Saturday market, however the market was extra special this week because all of the vendors were dressed up in traditional Swiss clothing. It was crazy! People were selling, cheese, fruits and vegetables, yarn, flowers, and more! After we checked out the market we climbed to the top of the church's highest tower (about 250 steps, very small too (to give my parents an idea they are about 3/4ths the size of the ones at Grandpa's house)). From the top we could see the whole city, and Grenchen too. Later that day I went to one of Florian's football games (and yes by football I mean soccer). His team was very good and won 6-0, I am pretty sure that people are naturally better at football here. Except for the fact that Girls don't play football here. When I told my host mom about people in the US getting down on one knee when a player is hurt and clapping when they get up or exit the field she looked at me, puzzled , I guess they don't do that in Switzerland.







I don't think Mom could do those stairs.
