then, the next day, breakfast among a lot of americans who were talking about harvard and why europeans would escape europe in 1930ies, afterwards we took a bath
with americans who were enjoying the sun for less than 30 minutes before they were heading to take the train back to zuerich.
today we have spend the day in solothurn a small swiss city that was
influencing heavily the french-swiss connection in 17th century, later
influencing the french revolution by providing generals and strategies, and a family that build the swiss
ambassy in paris.
