Bern in the rain

On my second day in Switzerland, I took a day trip by train to Bern.

It was raining so the covered walkways were welcome. It is a beautiful old city with a mixture of the history and new construction. At one point I was taking a serious look at my map and a man stopped to help, then walked with me telling me about the sites as we passed by to my destination, a bookstore where I found a copy of Philp Roth's I Married a Communist (more about the book later).

Thanks, Rachel. Travel is great! It's hard to pick from the 300 photos I took!
