City of Basel which is on the Rhine in a corner of Europe where Germany, France and Switzerland meet. Basel used to be Catholic and when the reformation came, became Protestant. All Catholics had to leave. They allow them in now. There was one Catholic who was so prominent that he was the only one buried in the Protestant Church (Erasmus von Rotterdam who printed books). He was buried under the altar but a later Protestant priest wouldn`t preach with him there so he was moved off to the side!Sorry about the extra three pictures of Basel. I have no idea how to delete them!
Laying new paving stones in Basel. I had no idea they were so thick. They are tearing up the pavement and going back to the old style roads.
Cuckoo clocks from the Black Forest.
