Switzerland 3-9-2008 ~ 3-19-2008
Why Switzerland, why Zürich and why so early? Well, budget, budget, budget. I really needed a vacation, preferably in Europe and, above all, affordable. After wearing out my fingers surfing the web, Zürich came out the winner. OK, so it was going to be an off-season vacation, but in my mind I saw snow, tasted Swiss cheese, heard yodeling, alpenhorns and cowbells. Yes..I did see snow and tasted cheese, but it was too early to experience the rest. You'll hear yodeling and alpenhorns at folkloric events in spring and summer and most cows were still indoors, waiting for those seasons to arrive. Nevertheless, I enjoyed Zürich wearing out a pair of shoes and riding the public transprtation; trams, busses and trains. I also took two guided tours. Sample my experiences from the menu
