A Quick Trip to Bern

On the way out of Switzerland, we decided to stop in Bern for lunch and a quick stroll to see one more town. While Bern was nice, we managed to cover the entire town in about 2 hours, including a trip to see the "Bear Pit" which we still don't quite get. Sort of Bear Zoo in the center of town. We strolled into one church, where Theresa immediately declared "Well this isn't a Catholic church." The way she said it was so funny, as if why would you go into it if its not Catholic? Turns out it was a Lutheran church, but still pretty nonetheless. Some of us are less discriminating than others! :-)



After spending our last few francs on ice cream and M&Ms in the Zurich airport for dinner, we headed to Warsaw - rather thankful to be done with Switzerland and looking forward to seeing another country that was bound to be different.

(Objects in picture are smaller than they appear. This is surely the most expensive bag of M&Ms I have ever bought.)

You will find that a number of cities up that way have bear displays. I suspect you will find them in Poland and what used to be East Germany.

I love your posts - keep them coming.
