Augusta Raurica was founded near the Rhine for veterans of Caesar's Gallic wars, and Vindonissa was a legionary fortress and military town. The best preserved ancient theater north of the Alps.

On my first trip to Switzerland, Max took me to see some ruins in Pfyn, Thurgau, and I was so amazed at how old the ruins are in Europe. There is nothing like that in the United States, as we have built over the top of the previous generations.
I am actually finally posting this in November 2024, and I have such fond memories of Dean and I visiting here. We didn't do much site seeing while we were there, as most of our time was spent in the Kuttigen Archive, but after 3 weeks in this beautiful country we can saw that we spent almost 3 days site seeing. This was a wonderful stop.
