"Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade wind in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." --Mark Twain

Avenches - Aventicum, the Roman Swiss region Capitol

Hi all, August 24, 2010

I'm in Avenches, a small village in northern Switzerland. Although a small village today, Avenches was once an impressive Roman Capitol city. Marcus Aurelus was here, (see gold bust picture) For a small country village they have an incredible Roman Museum, a remaining theatre and arena. They use the arena today for music concerts.
I also visited Murten and Fribourg, also towns with amazing old city to walk through.

My last day tomorrow, this has been an incredible trip. Put Switzerland on your list of European countries to visit!

Yours in travel, Bill
