After our train from Milan was delayed for 2 hours due to a person on the tracks, we finally made it to Bern, Switzerland. My friend, Rahel, who was an exchange student to my school about 3 years ago, met us at the train station and escorted us to her place where we stayed during our time in Bern. Rahel took us all over Old Town; to an 18th century Cathedral that had an amazingly designed ceiling and beautiful woodwork; to see Bern's 3 brown bears; up a huge hill that gave a splendid view of the city; and to find a baby-eating ogre fountain that Jesse had read about online. After showing us everything there was to see in Bern, Rahel cooked us a traditional Swiss dish with potatoes and sausage, it was delicious. Bern is a quaint Alpine town, so there isn't a busy night-scene or business district. It was a good time to relax and take in a breath of cold mountain air before traveling on to France.
