70 degree Sunday

It was a gorgeous, sunny day yesterday and we took advantage of it! We had decided to go to another Museum we heard about. It was about a 25 minute walk from the apartment, so it was a great day for the hike.

On our journey to the Museum of Natural History we came across a major crowd of people of all ages. It looked like a marathon for runners had just occurred. In the center of the city was hundreds of people surrounding booths, restaurants, and food stands. We inquired this for awhile, scanning the different options of food any beverages. Things were offered such as, beer, juices, bread, ice cream, somethings that looked like a brat, etc. Mike and I choose the "churro" stand and purchased 7 churros for 5 francs.
The yummy churros!

Churros in hand, we continued to the Museum. We found it and entered, free of charge! (there is no admission fee) This museum was much more interesting that history one we visited weeks ago. Again, everything was in French & German. However much more attractive to the eye...there were ancient fossils, meteor rocks, actual stuffed animals from past and present, even live animals (small rodents, fish, and insects).


After enjoying the museum all we could we started our travel home. We made a couple stops on the way. First, at a very peaceful park which we just observed and walked through.




Then a necessary stop at the train station for a few grocery items, (the train station is the only thing open on sundays,) on the way.

Oh and today.. we visited Chez Aeby to buy a roll of garbage bags, (24 francs later.) However, to our delighted surprise, the kind lady gave us a small box of Creme Brulee chocolate! It is soooo good. :)
