Today we had a city tour of Basel. I enjoyed the tour guide as well as the interesting pieces of information he had to give us. These include the fact that the Cathedral was changed from the Catholic to Protestant religion, the fact that you can see Switzerland, France, and Germany all from one location in Basel, and that the commuter boats/ferries on the Rhine are not powered, but rather use the currents of the river.
I also enjoyed the museum visit today. It was actually the first time I had ever been to a natural history museum, and I found the exhibits interesting, especially the dinosaur skeletons and their tracks. The Wooly Mammoth exhibit was also very exciting to see (they were such big creatures), and my favorite animal was the sea bear. Though I did not know this, this animal still has populations which exist and can be seen today.
