Short Trip to Zurich

I just got back from Copenhagen, and I can't wait to get my friends' pictures.  I stupidly decided not to bring our nice camera (didn't want to carry it all day), and the battery on my little one died after taking three pictures.  But the trip was amazing... I think I solidified relationships that will last beyond the borders of Europe.    

Because I don't have pictures of Denmark to share, I thought I'd post these of our short trip to Zurich.  I wasn't so sure about this camera app, but because this little vacation wasn't (necessarily) something special, I thought I'd really try it out.  I'm still undecided, but the pictures from the train ride are amazing.  Definitely cuter than they would have been with a regular camera.  I guess I'm just opposed to using something sort of "cool," because I'm not cool, and because I might want pictures that aren't fuzzy and splattered in five years.  But for now, they're cute.  And I like the way they capture the colors of the landscape.

Here we are at the train station about to leave.  Ryan is giving me the "are you crazy" look, and I'm laughing mid bite.  These are ridiculous pictures.

After waiting a while (the train was really late), we were finally on board.

Ryan had to be in Zurich for training, and I used the trip as a way to work on my thesis without distraction.  I waited (somewhat patiently) for Ryan's classes to be over, so we could both go out for the evening.

The weather was beautiful (if you're keeping track, I've said this a lot lately. Definitely visit Switzerland in April or May).  This is what it looks like around 6:30 pm - full sun.  It finally gets dark around 9:00.

  
We had dinner at the most amazing Thai restaurant.  Every dish had a distinct flavor, and they were all good. The dessert was both fantastic and funny (if you have third grade humor, which sometimes, Ryan does).

After dinner, we hit up our favorite candy store (double dessert, I know, but we do not pass up a chance to buy sour straws).

And because we had captured everything up to that point, we captured the tram ride back to the hotel.

I had to leave the next morning, a day ahead of Ryan, to be back for a meeting.  I love the train ride home... it's both scenic and relaxing, and the little app was able to capture it all.  So, in conclusion, Zurich was awesome (always is), the camera app will be used again (albeit sparingly), and I much prefer school work if this is my view.
