Visiting the Roemers in Ligerz


We were invited to the Roemers after church. They live in the most picturesque town, on the shore of the Bielersee (Lake Biel). This is the front of their house. It is four stories tall, and their "section" of the row is probably 25 feet wide, and maybe 30 feet deep. The bottom floor is their "basement". Then stairs lead to the living room and a little kitchen and bath on the next floor. More stairs to the main kitchen, eating area and family room. Then up another flight to 3 small bedrooms, with two opening to a balcony. There is also a bathroom, and our favorite, a bunk built out over the stairwell. They still heat the house with a wood stove. And they raised six children in this house.
