06 Waffenfabrik Bern - The Pictures

Daniel,

I was fortunate enough to have visited both Zurich and Geneva back in the 1970's on government business... what a beautiful country... and very friendly people... except for the KGB type (we nick-named him Boris) who followed us around for two days reading a newspaper until we sent a waiter over to his table with a glass of vodka... He promptly departed and within an hour was replaced by someone else who followed us around until we went to the airport to leave. Fun times during the Cold War...

I remember a "British" style pub (Sorry TAC!) , not far from the U.S. Mission in Geneva... Had a great evening there on my first night, before having to go to WORK the next day...
