One Month Anniversary

Today marks one month since we arrived in Switzerland.  It is hard to imagine Pam and I are more than 10% through this adventure or, put a better way, we still have about 90% left!  Time is passing so quickly.  

My Mom sent pictures from Florida today.  She is down there with Barry, Joan, Dale, Dang and my cousin Julie.  Looks like Barry tried his luck with that wheeled contraption Dale has.  It is just amazing that a "100% disabled" man like Dale is able to get around on that thing.  ;)  Wish we could have been there.  Maybe next year...

In the meantime, Pam and I went for a run along the river this afternoon.  It is a route we have done several times before.  But today was a beautiful day, and we finally remembered to take the camera along.  See map.  We cross over the Dalmazibrucke bridge near our apartment and then head south (upstream) along the Aare River on Dalmaziquai, past Stadtischer Tierpark and the village of Muri bei Bern.  We pass a zoo and a couple of cute restaurants along the way before crossing back over the river at a covered wooden bridge just past Muri bei Bern.  (See video) The path back on the other side of the river is more secluded with woods until we get to the village of Wabern on the outskirts of Bern.  Door to door it took us about 1 1/2 hours, but we stopped to take pictures and walked a little bit.
