In the last weekend of May, we took a trip down to Switzerland and saw the city of Bern. Neither Heidi nor I had spent much time there, and its the capital of Switzerland, so we thought we should take the family.
We went into downtown Bern and found the house where Albert Einstein lived in the early 1900s.
We walked around the downtown area, seeing some of the sights of the city...
...including the clock,
the Swiss Parliament building,
and the statue of the ogre eating the babies (just as a warning to remind our kids to obey us).
View of the Aare river in Bern.
Luke displayed his manly strength by lifting this chain.
We then walked to the end of the Altstadt, and across the bridge to see the Bern bears.
View from the bear pits back towards downtown.
You cannot get this close to a river without touching it, right?
