Wednesday Mornings in Bern

We have Gymboree every Monday, American Women's Club of Bern Moms and Tots every other Tuesday, and St. Ursala's every Wednesday morning. St. Ursala's is an English-Speaking Anglican Church just a twenty minute walk from our apartment across two windy bridges. It's a nice walk to a relaxed, though loud room, in the church's basement filled with legos, trains, ride-on, and more toys for the kids. By the end there are probably 15 kids and babies running around. Snack is provided and everyone sings songs at the end of the two hour play/chat time. We leave right before the songs start. Our squiggly boy is never interested in sitting and singing for that long and they sing A LOT of songs. It's a comfortable environment to meet other parents, get advice, and learn about the city and country. Most of the moms are from England, but there is a sprinkling of Americans. 5sf for two hours of entertainment and refreshments--best deal in town.
