Bern Under Contruction

I got to Bern around lunchtime yesterday and put all my bags in lockers at the trainstation...what a load off my back...literally! I walked through the Old Town and made it to the Einstein Museum. I spent a few hours there and learned a lot about Einstein's family.
It seems like everything is under construction from the train station to the Parliament building and the major Cathedral...
The Bear is the symbol in Bern because one of the founding fathers' first kill was a bear. Now they have a Bear Pit for symbolism.

The Parliament Building

The lockers that have saved my back... 6Sfr for 24 hours of storage. When I saw the hill I would have to climb, I decided to leave my big back at the lockers for the night. Everthing was still there in the morning so thank Goodness! I am off the Geneve for a day in the morning and then on the Interlaken before heading up to Gimmewald...I have yet to see snow! Today was pretty cold though. Luckily Starbucks has made it to Switzerlaqnd with its free wireless. talk to you all later! Hope work is going good...wait that is just mean! Love to all, Michelle
