Day Trip to Zurich

Ryan has been working in Zurich all week, and I had Thursday off, so I took the train and met him on Wednesday night. We love Zurich, and the fact that it's only a three hour train ride away makes it a really easy side trip.

My favorite thing to do is walk and shop. It reminds me of what I loved about Chicago... you can go for miles and not get bored. Thursday was the prettiest day you could ever ask for, especially considering I have NEVER seen Zurich with good weather. It made my walk soooo much more enjoyable.



So, while Ryan was at work, this is exactly what I did. I walked. And walked. And walked. For hours. It's the easiest thing to do in a city like Zurich. The stores are interesting and the scenery is beautiful. The flower shops are my favorite. I could probably spend hours in this place alone (below), but unfortunately, plants are hard to take back on the train. When you get tired, you can sit in the frilliest dessert shop, and have $12 hot chocolate. It's actually worth it. Then, when you get tired again, you just walk until you find a little square like the one below with trees and benches. It's the best place to pull out your book and let another hour go by. I'm not sure what this paragraph sounds like to you, but for me, it is the perfect way to spend the day. I really can't think of much else I'd rather do - ever.
