Bern to Luzern

Brrrr....the coldest morning since December 6th for me. But the sun is shining so I'm happy. Things I love about Switzerland, milk (so fresh tasting and not stripped of all the good things), water from the tap(no taste of chlorine, not cloudy and tastes like mountain water) rye bread and the absolutely on time train system. I've yet to splurge on chocolate and wine. I bought a really cheap beer yesterday and it was excellent. The part of Switzerland I'm in now is more German language than French. I learned that Einstein spent six years here and came up with his theirs of relativity. His comment was that the Swiss people are the most humane he has ever met. They made a museum out if his house. Lucern is very hilly and there is a giant festival going on for five days with music everywhere and people dressed in masks and drinking in the streets. Really high energy. Apparently it is tied in with Easter and Ash Wednesday and the fortification of the city. It is a picture postcard city and stunning. The people are in very good spirits, laughing and drinking, singing and playing great music everywhere. Young and old!Baca selengkapnya
