We took the train to Basel on Friday to see a great exhibit at the Fondation Beyeler. It was an amazing collection from the art community in Vienna at the turn of the century. In the afternoon we toured Old Town and enjoyed some unexpected sunshine and warmer temperatures. We had stops for beer and coffee before taking the train back to Freiburg. Our impression of Switzerland, at least Basel, is that you need a lot of dollars to live here! The prices were noticeably more than in Germany (the exhibit was $25 each). We specifically made a stop at Starbucks to see just how much they could charge for coffee! An interesting aside: we watched a film crew preparing to televise on the Rhine while we were walking around. When we came home we watched a live production of Aida on TV from that venue!
