Thursday we went to Luzern. We had a nice day just strolling around the city. We went over the old wooden bridge in the middle of town. We picked up some bread and cheese and chocolate for lunch. We had a nice picnic on the side of Luzern Lake. It was so beautiful. You could see the mountains in the distance. The water was really cold but somehow we manage to see a few people swimming in it. Not for too long though. We took a bus to the Transportation Museum and looked around that for a while. We didn't end up going in because it was a little pricey for us but we saw a few cool things.
We found a near by park there and just sat in the grass for a while. It was nice to have be at a green park with huge trees and it wasn't super hot. We enjoyed relaxing there for a while. I would love to have a park that I could go to during the summer and not be afraid that I'm going to burn my feet if I take my shoes off or sweat to death if I lay in the grass. It was very pleasant there. We took a boat back to the main part of town. It was pretty funny because there were several large ships that drove past our dock blowing their large horns as they came in. We were excited to get on one of them and go to the top of the boat. When it was close to our boarding time we hear this little chime and saw what seemed to be a little tug boat coming our way. We just laughed because that was our boat. We got on the smallest boat on the lake with a huge elementary school on board. It was comical. We loved it still.
Saturday Markus Gappmeir gave us tickets to an art show in Basel. It was a very big deal here so we thought it would be fun to go since we had tickets. It was a really rainy day as well so we thought our time would be well spent inside. Given that neither of us are too big into art we were a little skeptic but wanted to try something new. We were hoping it would be some cool art that will change our minds about art forever. Didn't really happen. It was a very interesting thing though. We were sent through a large warehouse maze of art. There was art everywhere. We were there for over an hour and a half and we felt like we had only seen an eighth of the art there. It was overwhelming. Unfortunately the art wasn't our style too much. A lot of the modern weird funky art that you wonder, "I think I could have drawn that when I was 3 years old." It was a good cultural experience but a lot of weird things. Also a lot of nakedness too, and not the normal Roman Cathedral nakedness. It was funny for us we just tried to enjoy the pieces that actually were art worthy in our minds and stared blankly at the other pieces. It was fun to see Basel though. Brett always has fun memories as we enter the train stations, or Bahnhof, of each city. It's so fun being together here even at crazy art festivals.
