Bern

On Saturday we went to Bern.  Bern is the capital of Switzerland.  It is 1.5 hours away from our house.  We started walking around when we got there, and we found this:

 



This picture is of a church in the middle of Bern.



 

 

 

This is me and my Mom walking close to another clock.  There are about 10 clocks in Bern.

 

This is the back of what we just saw.  This is an old-fashioned kind of clock that tells the time, and the date, and the zodiac signs.

 

 

On the back of what we saw.  This one does the same thing, but, the only thing that is different is that there are animal statues beside the clock.  They move when the clock strikes at the hour.

 

 

This is me and my Daddy next to the fountain.  That pole next to us is a statue of a man eating babies.

 

 

  This is a picture of me and my mom, and me acting like a bear.  We are acting like bears because we are inside the bear garden, which actually has a living bear in it.  The bear is the symbol of Bern, because the first animal that the first people caught and killed here was a bear.  That is where Bern got its name from...the German word for bear is Bär.
