16 Oct -- On my way back from Bern

Bern was fantastic!!!

I walked around a lot checking out the city, the architecture, the sights & sounds... I went to the "Historisches Museum Bern" or for the French "Musee Historique de Berne" or for us Americans the History Museum or more commonly known as the Einstein Museum. The museum was great... I learned a lot about the history of Switzerland and some interesting stuff about Albert Einstein. Einstein became a Swiss citizen in 1901 and received much of his early schooling in Switzerland.

I also tried to open a bank account at Credit Suisse -- only to learn that I needed $1 Million before they would consider opening an account.

Here's what I wrote on the train ride back from Bern (before ADD took over again):
"Bern is awesome. It reminds me of Grove City outlets but a thousand times bigger. The history & Enistein musem really gave me an appreciation for this country and its past. Fun time!!"
