Love the door knocker - reminds me of Marley in the Christmas Carol when he appeared to

Elder and Sister Fox (on their 3rd mission in Bern) played the alphorns for the conference.
We left Bern and drove to Lucerne, Switzerland. It's a beautiful city right on Lake Lucerne.
Lots of swans on the lake.
Kapellbrücke. The construction started in 1333 and is the oldest wooden covered bridge in Europe. It partially burned in 1993 and was reconstructed in 1994.

The Lion Monument (German: Löwendenkmal), or the Lion of Lucerne, is a sculpture in Lucerne, Switzerland, designed by Bertel Thorvaldsen and hewn in 1820–21 by Lukas Ahorn. It commemorates the Swiss Guards who were massacred in 1792 during the French Revolution, when revolutionaries stormed the Tuileries Palace in Paris. (Info found on the internet).
It was a huge and beautiful carving.
