Zurich … a great weekend

Last weekend, Buddy and I made our inaugural trip to Zurich, Switzerland. Many reasons to go, which will become self evident as this posting continues….here they are, in no defined order:

• A first time visit to Switzerland (let alone Zurich) allowed us to add another “stamp” to the passport, figuratively speaking, of course. (Buddy and I are still hacked that we can't get passport “stampage in Europe, as we like the look of these bulging passport pages).

• Zurich is a great city, with just enough to see and do for a weekend without feeling rushed or overloaded.

• Lovely city that is extremely user-friendly. I am thinking that the 1 hour and 15 minute flight will be an easy repeat weekend trip when international necessities, such as English language books, cheap DVDs and CDs, clothing, etc. require a trip outside of Germany.

• We actually saw the city through the eyes of “locals”…which really is the best way to visit a city. Our friends went “way above the call of duty”, doing much advance legwork for sightseeing, restaurants, hotels, and shopping. Thanks, Stefan - you are the best!

• Easy daytrip to Lucerne…charming, indeed.

• Visiting new friends who will hopefully become old friends….

Although the weather was cloudy for some of the weekend, it did not dampen our enjoyment….we’ll be back….
