Swiss Army Green~Bern, Switzerland














































Bern, the capital of Switzerland. The city is a dull, green color. Almost everything. Offset with red geraniums, the staple of Suisse window boxes. I guess the greenish color is the building product, not really a stone, but colored concrete maybe......I may never know for sure.
We walked all over. Molly and I were excited to 1. get a McDonalds diet coke 2. get a Starbucks latte and 3. try a Suisse beer......a liquid diet for the day. We stopped first at Starbucks to be SHOCKED at the price of a $8 tall latte. Had to do it anyway. Beer next.....good, Mikael bought that. I am sure the beer is cheaper than coffee. Never made it to McDonalds.......oh well.
Stopped outside the Albert Einstein Museum. This is where the great physicist was living when he developed the theory of energy........E=MC squared..........where would we be without that? Huh Dad?
Didn't buy the Rolex watch I liked. $8,150 because I would have had to come home after. Didn't even eat. Too expensive. We saved up for Jutta's final meal.
She made the best dinner of veal stroganoff, brocolli and a traditional Suisse dessert with meringue, double cream and blueberries. We rolled to bed.
