Lucerne: On the way back to Sins

On our way to Sins, the village where Javier's mother was raised, we stopped in Lucerne to see the Kapellbrücke.  Considering the time of year, it was quite foggy on the Vierwaldstättersee (Four forested-cantons lake).

The Kapellbrücke is a wooden truss bridge dating back to the 1300's.  The sad thing about the bridge is that it survived for hundreds of years, only to be severely damaged by a fire in the 1990's.  The bridge was restored, but the original paintings from the 1600's that lined the interior are forever gone.  Out of almost 150 paintings, only 30 were restored after the fire.  It is clear when you visit the bridge today that they are very wary of fire, considering the abundance of no smoking signs.
