Baselstadt

Rathaus Basel : Basel, CH

My friends, Diana and Scott, live in Basel, which is the cantonal seat of Canton Baselstadt. Basel is in the north and borders on France and Germany. Since we spent Sunday in the Alsace and I had to work remotely on Monday, I only had an hour or two to see Basel. Scott kindly gave me the nickel tour, which was quite lovely.

I'll definitely be going back to Basel, though, for two reasons. First, to visit my friends again and second, to visit some of the surrounding villages where my ancestors--the Bangerters--came from. Stay tuned...
