More from Basel

In Basel, I stumbled on a few moments and places that had a little bit of magic in them.


In the plaza next to the cathedral, I watched as a group of old men played boules, and a group of young boys played with a bowling set, as autumn sun shone through the horsechestnut trees.


Some of the streets in the old city were so quiet and charming, they could have been in a village far away, instead of in the middle of a cosmopolitain city.








That day, the afternoon sun was so warm, that people flocked to the sunny steps beside the Rhine. When I arrived there was a small group, but as the air warmed the crowd grew.
