Body Worlds

We had a really great visit with Claire and Matt in Switzerland. Finished up most of the things that were on Claire's list of things to do. Carved pumpkins, made a terrarium and pumpkin pie. Even got in a short but very expensive boat ride. I found some new boots too at an outlet store that are actually comfortable. The traffic on the way home was really terrible. We did manage to visit our friends in Essen for dinner though - a late dinner. 

Thursday we had some down time, and then Friday was Amsterdam. Amélie finished up her swimming lessons early, so as a reward, she choose to visit Body Worlds. They plasticize dead people and display the insides of their bodies and organs in interesting ways so that you can see how the body works. Amélie really like it! The rest of us thought it was pretty interesting too. 

Yesterday the girls went to a Frida Kahlo exhibition and then visited with family. We had our annual fall bonfire cookout, and the girls ate too many marshmallows. Of course. Today we will get to relax a bit and visit with Susan and her sister before she heads back to Canada. Busy week!

The boat ride near Biel.

Fun at Body Worlds!
