St. Gallen

Today we took a trip to St. Gallen.  The main place we visited there was the Abbey of St. Gall.

We went to the library there first.  It was gorgeous!  They didn't allow cameras in though, so no pictures from me.  Here's one on Wikipedia:  http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d3/BibliothekSG.jpg  There were many very old books that were on display in special cases, but it is also a working library.

After lunch we went inside the abbey cathedral.  Wow, was that ornate!  Probably the fanciest church I've been in.  It is a baroque cathedral.  Lots of pictures here:  http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2073961&id=40804674&l=9dcc609f8d


We headed back to PSI early today because we were all pretty tired from getting back late yesterday.


We hope to do our first experiment tomorrow if the weather cooperates.
