Bern

Since this is the year of Friends, Family, and Funerals, we made arrangements to see my first cousin Margaret and her German/Canadian husband Peter in Bern:

We had a great meal (Fondue, Rostie, Raclette, and beer!)

We had great fun. And we saw the Bern Bears:

The cathedral is impressive:

And the BIG Stoptogo clock in their train station:

Details of the Gates of Heaven and Hell on the Cathedral:

A beautiful City:

They have a clock there that does some fanciness at noon(ish)

and lots of these statues posted all around town:
