travel: Zürich

Tue 08 May 2007 in travel

I’m itching to go away again, and as we haven’t settled down on when or where I’ll try to look back at past trips and highlight a place of interest. I will definitely show my ignorance as I didn’t always take good notes, nor was I experienced at travelling as my husband is.

As I’ve stated before, the summer of 2001 found E and I in Europe from mid June to mid August. For the first time in my life I went into debt for this (ignoring school loans because those are a given in life). I think it was worth it and am quite thankful we could make the trip. [nb: I borrowed from a family member so it wasn't debt as some people have debt, but it was real to me!]

I also wish I had that sort of time and carefree thoughts still today, but that is a matter for another post.

I’ve touched on bits of our trip here and there and today I want to highlight a very short stay in Switzerland, we spent part of a day in Zürich. I don’t have access to the photographs to show you right now (we’re still slowly working on our travel site), but it was a beautiful city with nice pleasant streets to walk along on a nice summer day. Walking along the Limmat was wonderful and i recall a beautiful art installation in the river near a bridge (Quai? please remember this is going on six years now and I took horrid notes at the time but never wrote about this). We then went on to Geneva and had a miserable experience and I think we both, one day, wish to return to Zürich and see all that it has to offer. Any suggestions are welcome.
