Zurück in Basel

Yes, we are back in Basel, Evi's home town. She was actually born in Zürich, but considers Basel her home since she was a young girl. Anyway, after two simple flights from SFO to Newark to Zürich, we arrived in good shape. We celebrated Yom Kippur with Evi's cousins and brother there, then after releasing all our sins for the previous year, the next morning we took the one-hour train to Basel, where we will stay on and off for the next month. The weather in Switzerland is cool in the morning, but sunny and warm in the afternoon. Very invigorating! Now, here are some photos.

The Autumn Leaves in Basel
The leaves turn most of the city reddish-brown.

Typical Scene
Lovely architecture for a beer garden, no?

The circus is back
The circus is "back in Basel," and so are we.

Morning breaks from our airplane ride
Our first morning view of Europe from 35,000 feet.

In a quiet courtyard.
Evi and Howard in a beautiful little courtyard surrounded by private homes and restaurants. Notice the Cadillac in the background?

Along the Rhine River
Late afternoon sunlight drapes the homes along the river.

Hi Evi and Howard! Good to see your journal up here and all the beautiful photos. Much more artistic than Gadi's! (you hear that Gadi? Step up). Glad you guys are having such a wonderful time. It really puts a damper on me raiding Jared's candy drawer though... see you eventually!
