On our anniversary, we go from a train station to the end of the line.

Not many photographs accompany this day’s journal. Anniversaries are meant for pursuits other than peering through a camera lens. Suffice to say we had a long Metro ride to the train station to upgrade our ticket for Saturday’s trip to Basel and then walked, lunched and rode the Metro back to the end the line, two stops beyond our normal exit, just to see what’s there. Nothing much, it turned out, so we walked to the apartment – another five-mile-plus day – to kick back with a bottle of champagne and contemplate the evening, including nice thoughts of four years ago.
