Terry, Sherry, and Bree Arrive!!

Well, the day is finally here after all this time! Terry here and I'm here with Sherry and Bree. The flight over was pretty uneventful - the usual Faustian Gerber Baby Convention within a 10' radius of my seat, - 8, count them, EIGHT!! - the plane seat suitable only for suppository use, but an arrival time 15 minutes early! Brian came to make sure I didn't wander about Zurich airport like a robotic pool cleaner, and he was quite a help. He found the sign for the train back to Bern, and with Bree's help, found track 3 to get us there!

We arrived in Bern around 9:30 in the morning, and Pam greeted us with wonderful pastries, coffee, exfoliating ear cleaners, the works! and we decided that we were awake enough to do a walk around Bern. And so we did! We did a very nice recon that provided a wonderful overview of the city and finished just off the main square with an outside lunch, watching the old men play chess with their blow-up dolls and basking in the wonderful sunshine that decided to appear around 10:30.

After coming back, and taking a 2-3 hour nap, Brian and Pam were throwing wine and cheese at us on there balcony until we got bored and demanded food. With that, they prepared a wonderful steak dinner and we finished the evening walking along the Aare in the sunset/twilight and smoking cigars. Life is simply no better!! See slide show of Bern.

Tomorrow, Fribourg!! The anticipation is palpable!!
