Bern, Switzerland

We started our Spring Break (Yes, we are still wearing coats in the "spring.") in Bern, Switzerland. 

This was stop number one.  Switzerland was beautiful!  It was really nice to wander around the main square and see the Bern Bears.  All of the buildings in Bern are a greenish-gray limestone.  Bern burned once upon a time and then they made an ordinance that all buildings had to be made of this limestone.  So, everything is the same color.

 

Anya finally taking a nap.  I've carried this girl all over Europe.

My grandma!  We walked her skinny little legs off.

Noah in front of a cellar.  Half of all the shops are actually in a basement cellar type place.

BEAUTIFUL

There are 11 fountains through out the city square.  The boys were trying to find all of them.

In front of Einstein's house.  He spent 2-3 years living here.

I loved this clock.

Switzerland is expensive.
 The temple has a family hostel that is much more reasonable.  We coordinated our trip to Switzerland with a trip to the temple.  It was the first European temple.  The hostel is actually a bunch of metal bunk beds and a cafeteria so that you can prepare your food.  It isn't a bad way to see the country.
