Pretty cool, well, considering the content.
Hey O.G.!!!

There's a lot of cool, old public art in Bern, though. The thing I liked the best was this tower with an astronomical clock on it.
Beautiful artwork. Thanks for sharing.
I love Bern. You guys are really getting out and about, it's awesome. Don't forget to go to Muerren one of these times -- and we'll join you!
I still want to ride bikes around the lake at Interlaken (I can't recall its name and am too lazy to look it up) -- are you guys into cycling?
Thanks Chaplain!!!
