Bern

A man fell into the bear pit in Bern a few days before we visited. He dropped a plastic bag in there and went to retrieve it, obviously he had some mental issues. No one was hurt, but the Bernese are very concerned because the bear was shot with a tranquilzer gun.

I did not see the bears, which are the namesake of Bern and have a new million dollar home/large plexiglass cave by the river. It was raining, so I guess they were in their cave. I did see the Munster Cathedral, which I figured was famous, but later learned that munster is actually the German word for cathedral.

It’s so crazy to drive like an hour and the people speak a different language. In Switzerland there are 4 official language-French, German, Italian, and Romanch.
