Jumping from a couple of bridges over the Aare is a very popular thing to do during the summer in Bern. I will admit that I have done it and it is very fun and exhilerating.

This is a view of the Aare, which is a river in Switzerland. The Aare winds through Bern and a favorite place to gather for locals and tourists alike.

This is the large fountain in the middle of Helvetiaplatz in Bern, Switzerland. The fountain has interesting statues and is unique in design.

This is a small pond within a park called the Kleine Schanze (Little Chance). This park is located in Bern, Switzerland and is a very popular place relax in the summer.

At one point during the seminar, Dan found this trojan horse statue and decided to climb it. What a crazy Dan!

This is the group of echolocation learners talking a little more about things, asking questions, and putting their learning into action.

In this picture, Dan Kish is teaching someone how to use echolocation. He places a flat object on one side of the person’s head and asks that person to tell him which side it is on by clicking their tongue and listening for a close echo back.

Dan Kish held a seminar in Switzerland to teach some blind/visually impaired how to use echolocation. In this picture, he is talking about the theory and application of echolocation.

This is a shot of one the glaciers up on the mountain. This was the first glacier I have seen in person. They are quite amazing.

Just one of the many gorgeous views on our hike.
