Greetings from Bern, Switzerland!

Sean and I are now in the second country in our three country adventure. Bern is COLD. Now I have been cold before, but nothing beats the cold stabbing air of Bern after nightfall.

Lesson 1: Bern is cold.

We arrived at 9:30 last night after catching a second train much later in the day then we had intended due to our train from Roma Termini to Milano Centrale being late to arrive to the station but a mere 10 minutes.

Lesson 2: Trains leave on time in Europe. No exceptions.

We decided to have a down day in our hotel room today and are planning on seeing the sights tomorrow. I particularly want to see the Bear Pit on the western part of Bern. Google it- It's pretty interesting! We found out about this phenomenon from our fellow train companion who happened to have grown up in Switzerland.

Lesson 3: Let yourself take a day to relax.

Just watched some great vids of Bern, and the history of the original Bear Pit, and the new bear-friendly enclosure. You guys definitely are lucky to experience the new Bear Park.

Sounds pretty amazing so far! And you got to see the Wolfman too, you lucky ducks. Hope you have a great Valentine's Day in France! Can't wait to read about it.
