I'm in Bern!
No cell phone access at the moment, and limited internet access, and SFO security is holding the backpack with Judi's camera that we left at the security checkpoint - but after 5+ hours of flying SFO->IAD, and 7+ hours of flying IAD->MUC, and 1+ hours of flying from MUC->BELP, and about 30 minutes of riding in a cab driven by an elderly guy who spoke only German and French, we have arrived.
I still have not seen any Bernese Mountain Dogs, and in the words of a gentleman I passed at Queen's Day in Amsterdam, "het f**king regent" (translation: "it's raining".) I've done a bit of walking about the city, and know where to find a few ATMs and how to get Swiss Francs out of them, I know where to buy crossbows, paintbal guns, spiderman costumes, large stuffed bears, umbrellas, possibly new digital cameras, and decent pizza (thanks elderly guy!)
