Description
Bern, the capitol city of Switzerland, is built around a crook in the Aare River. It traces its origins back to the 12th century, with medieval architecture preserved in the Old Town. The Swiss Parliament and diplomats meet in the Federal Palace, which is a good example of Neo-Renaissance architecture. On the day that my husband and I visited Bern, Switzerland was having a rare heat wave, and temperatures were over 100 degrees. We still joke about "burning up in Bern," and unfortunately the extreme temperatures prevented us from being as active and covering as much ground as we would have ordinarily done. We did see enough, however, to know that it's a beautiful city that we would love to revisit under more pleasant circumstances!

Bern is where I'm born and grow up (now I'm living in Thailand since over 30 years) but I need to go back to Bern at least every other year, my heart in my family are still there. I was living in the Felsenburg for about 3 years This is the white house on the right of your picture. I love it Marcy l/f/tp
