Basel and the surrounding area...

So I went to Basel, Switzerland yesterday. Before hand, though, I stopped off in Augusta Raurica.  It the largest ruins of a Roman town in Switzerland.  It's about 15 minutes outside of Basel. Then it was a whole lot of time in Basel, walking from one part of the town to the other. It's pretty cool, as the Rhine river cuts the town in half.  Apparently, hundreds of years ago, the northern half was the poor area and the lower half was the rich part. One the way back stopped off in Rheinfelden on a whim. It's a little town that is right on the Rhine river right across from germany.  The German border was right there. It was pretty cool.
