"You may give them your love but not your thoughts, for they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. You may strive to be like them but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward"
The time has come to celebrate the beauty of spending time with our adult children. We're so looking forward to it. With busy life and distance, it has become too rare. Matt and Jessica have chosen to visit Switzerland and we're honored to be along.
They left from Minnesota and we met up at Washington Dulles Intl airport so we could fly the long leg to Zurich together. On arrival in Zurich we took the train to Bern Switzerland.
Luggage on a crowded 2 story train is not our favorite.
Our hotel is very charming and in a perfect location near old town.
Hotel Bären am Bundesplatz
Bern, the capital city of Switzerland, is built around a crook in the Aare River.
Zytglogge, Built around 1218–1220. the Zytglogge was converted to a women's prison, notably housing – "priests' whores", women convicted of sexual relations with clerics! Oddly specific!
The clock dial has been dated to building phase of 1405.
Wonderful pizza was nearby
An open market on the square was selling olives among other treats.
"Child-Eater Fountain" is a painted stone fountain at the Kornhausplatz (Granary Place) in Bern, Switzerland. It is one of the Old City of Bern's fountains from the 16th century.
There are mazing, fountains everywhere.
Matt and Jessica turned in early today, exhausted.
