We did, however, have a great time in Zurich a couple of weeks ago. The weather was amazing, which, for our visits, is rare. And we were able to celebrate Cinco de Mayo by actually eating Mexican food (not so easy to do in Lugano). We also found Hurlimann beer, which was part of our very first Zurich experience. It was as good as we remembered.
I am loving Zurich. Ryan is starting to not love pictures.
We've been having beautiful weather here lately, and upon returning from Zurich, we were able to enjoy the park with friends. The water is starting to change from blue to green, we imagine because of plant growth associated with higher water temperatures, but that's based on loose science (plants like sun), not actual fact. We don't really know why it changes color. Either way, the park provides a great view of said lake, and is ideal on sunny days like this one.
On Saturday we went to Milan, hoping to see the AC Milan team parade through the city, celebrating their Italian cup championship. However, we missed our train, and arrived just as everyone was leaving. We could only imagine the fun that was had, based on the enormous mess left behind.
Saturday wasn't a total loss... we went out with Ryan's friend from work, and got to see a part of the city we'd never been to before. We liked it, and will definitely be back.
Unfortunately, our train luck continued, and we showed up at the station for the last train of the night only to see that it was delayed indefinitely. We ended up getting a ride home from our friend, who was nice enough to drive us all the way to Lugano. But it doesn't always work out that way... about a month ago we went out with the same friend, and didn't think to ask him to wait, to see if we'd actually get on the train. We were stuck in Como at 1:30 in the morning for 2 hours, then stuck in Chiasso for 45 minutes, before returning home three hours later than expected (the whole trip start to finish should only take about 30 minutes). Being stuck in Como is nice, unless it's the middle of the night, and nothing's open. Then it's just creepy. If we could hop in a delorean and do this whole experience over again, we'd get a car. Sometimes, relying on the public system is great. Other times, not so much.
