1800 (Fribourg)
I return at the end of this fourth day in Switzerland from a Lausanne / Geneva daytrip to my home in Fribourg. As it turns out, I'm staying in a fraternity. But this is not just any fraternity; it is a sword-fighting fraternity, and they actually sword fight one another. I have not yet seen their practice, but I am sure I will. So far, I have had the enjoyable experience of being shown the whole of Fribourg by a member, Nikola, whose English is better than he will admit. The city is as beautiful as it is old.
