On Saturday we took a day trip to Bern, the capital of Switzerland. Bern is a really awesome place and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Bern is a German-speaking town with a lot of history. Throughout the city there are carved statues of nursery rhymes and Bern folklore. The mascot of Bern is the bear. Unfortunately, Pedro, the bear of Bern, died on Thursday. We didn't get to see any bears, but we did see the bear pit. Joe was really bummed by the death of Pedro because he really loves the Bern bears. A hidden gem in Bern is the Rosengarten located up a very steep hill. It offers an amazing view and about 200 varieties of roses. We ate some traditonal German food, think a Farmer's skillet at Denny's. Mine had cheesy potatoes topped with two eggs and bacon. The bacon was not that great because it was European bacon, which is fatty. Ronny and Joe had locally brewed beer too! We got to see Einstein's apartment where he worked as a patent clerk. Bern is definitely an awesome place, and if you come to visit the chances that we would go there are high.
That is too bad about the bears; Joe does really love those guys so I'm sure he was pretty sad. It sounds like you had an awesome time all the same. And I bet that that restaurant would be super excited by your review, being compared to Denny's is an accolade few can even dream of.
