This started as a lazy Sunday, and surprisingly cold for the middle of April. But after finishing the movie we’d started the night before, Edin and I decided to check out a Craft Beer Festival at the Nordbahnhof. We also checked out an artist colony in the area, and even a cemetery.
Bruchsal & Stumbling Stones
Stumbling Stones are placed in front of homes that were taken from Jewish families who almost always were sent to concentration camps. I was honored to be able to observe the laying of stones for 5 families.
Switzerland
The first word that comes to mind about this trip to Switzerland is…. EXPENSIVE. Maybe you thought I’d say beautiful, and it definitely was, but it was also a little cloudy this weekend so it doesn’t get top billing. Zermatt was lovely and other than a few random train rides, we had a great weekend.
