I have been enjoying Bern very much. I explored the town on Tuesday, enjoyed seeing the bears for which Bern is known, walking along the river and checking out the place. Yesterday I went into town and stopped to listen to this REALLY good acoustic guitar duo that was playing under a shop awning (it was raining). They started playing a fast "Volare". I couldn't keep my feet still so I asked a homeless man if he knew how to Salsa! He sure gave it one hell of a try! Great start to my day!!
I met up with a guy from Jordan for coffee - very interesting guy! Youngest of 12 all doctors (or at least have PhD's) all over the world. All 12! And get this, his dad dropped our of high school and his mom never finished the 4th grade! (Sorry Dad.) We met up with a Swiss girl and hung out all afternoon around town. Then last night I went out to a bar for a couch surfing meeting. Very cool! There were travelers from ALL over the world just hanging out together, sharing philosophies and cultures. CRAZY how small the world becomes when you start talking to people. It turns out the guy from Jordan had a brother (and now a nephew) that went to the University of Iowa for med school... at the same time I was there!!! How nuts is that? I come to Switzerland and meet up with a guy from Jordan, and it turns out I went to school with his brother!!!
Fun Stuff! Ok, I'm off to grab a bite and get this day going!!
