Toured the city of Basel yesterday. Learned a great deal about its history. A common theme seemed to relate to the fact that the city became Protestant shortly after the Reformation. We also visited the Natural History Museum, which is a different experience when you cannot read anything. As usual, I had to put up with the Theory of Evolution being presented as fact. We were all amazed when at one point they came to work on the bee hive that they let everyone (including little kids) get right up close and even play with the bees. That just sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen in the States.
Today a few of us went to the Basel Zoo as part of our free weekend. It was nice to get to take our time at the zoo and see all the animals. Now the few of us are headed to Paris! I am so excited about this!
