So finally, I get a business trip to return to Switzerland. I haven't seen Switzerland since July of 2009. In case you might remember, I spent my last two weeks living in a tent at the flying club's "SaanenLager" (camping at Saanen). Here's the story, if you didn't know: http://www.pietbarber.com/soaringoverthealps .
I returned on the 25th of July, and wondered if my ability to understand Bernese German had faded, or if I could still make out what the Swiss were saying. Due to work, I wasn't able to make it to Bern until the 30th of July, when I decided to spend the day running along the Aare valley.
But that's not what I wanted to write about quite yet...
