Berne is a lovely city, but whats up with the fat caged bears? It made me kind of sad to see the bears sitting in their little habitats catching carrots in thier mouths. I didn't want to take a picture because somehow that was, in itself, supporting this sad spectacle.
Mostly we walked around the city and along the river. We tried to see Einstein's House, but it was closed for the winter. For lunch we had the most expensive street tacos in the universe. I think three tacos were something like $10 or $12. Perhaps we hadn't dressed warmly enough, but by the midafternoon we were freezing, literally. I don't think either of us could feel our toes. At one point we stood in the foyer of a modern art exhibit just so we could defrost our feet on the baseboard heater.
On the train ride home, while reading all the tourist flyers, I realized we had missed what could have been the highlight of our trip. The Paul Klee Museum. Live and learn.
