Summary
When my phone died and my charger went on vacation, I ended up in a wild St. Gallen pub where a Led Zeppelin-loving bartender revived my device—and my curiosity. Turns out, this Swiss town’s soul is tied to Saint Gall, a 7th-century Irish monk who allegedly befriended a bear on his Alpine journey. The story? A metaphor for taming your inner wildness. I toured the UNESCO Abbey, marveling at its ancient library and the legend’s modern twists. My lodging? A 182-step hillside hermitage with shared bathrooms and no showers after 9 PM—perfect for monks (and not bears). Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
