When In Rome...







Yesterday, we visited Liestal, a city outside of Basel, and spent a very busy day. It started in the OR, where we watched a total ankle replacement, and included 2 scientific sessions. But an unusual aspect was a side trip to the small village of Augst, which is the site of the very extensive ruins of a Roman colony, Augusta Raurica. The museum and ruins are truly inpressive, and we had a great guided tour. There are still performances given in the remains of the amphitheater, but I particularly loved the lone paw print of a cat on the tile of a bath.
