Floods!
Some of you may have seen reports of flooding in central Switzerland. Luckily, Neuchatel has no rivers running through it. Plus, we are on the side of a hill. In fact, our lake feeds into one of the rivers flooding in Olten and Solothurn. I took a train yesterday through the area. The trains at least were built high above the river. But I saw lots of swollen rivers and a few flooded villages.
On a lighter note, I went through a town called "Wildegg". Switzerland has great place names.
