2007 Travelogues from Switzerland by Mark Sukhija

We didn't make too many trips around Switzerland this year beyond the odd day trip to Rapperswil. I did, however, make a day trip to Glarus for extraordinary Open-Air Parliament which was the first extraordinary Landsgemeinde for 150 years. We also took a very enjoyable weekend in Berne. Berne is my favorite city in Switzerland and it was good to find a new historic restaurant in Der Klötzlikeller.
