Zurich... Just can't get enough of those cities with rivers :)

Sorry these pics have taken so long to go up. I've actually had school work to do haha. 

Who knew?!

Zurich was absolutely gorgeous in fall. I don't think we could have picked a better weekend to go. The colors were changing in the trees, it was 70 degrees and sunny... and drumroll please.....

THE DOLLAR WAS 12 CENTS STRONGER THAN THE SWISS FRANC! :D YESSS!

The first night we were really livin large. We stayed in the Marriot with Emily's mom's business partner. She just happened to be in Zurich that week for business and offered to put us up for the night. We had some drinks at the bar, then ate dinner at the Thai restaurant there (cause it was 10 pm and no places in Switzerland are open past 9... lame). So we snuck into her hotel room, and had to sleep on the floor, but who really cares cause we were in a Marriot. Not to mention it had a great shower (a rare find in the usual hostels). 

The next day we scoped out the city a bit. It basically has an "Old Town" district that's bars and restaurants, then there's shopping along the river. We found a lookout that looked over the city, it was really great. I wish we'd stayed there longer. We shopped (I finally got a coat!! It's so Euro, i love it!) Then we went to the big art museum there. I think i was more into it than Katie and Emily, but i really enjoyed it. It was kinda nice to just wander around by myself, and I was shocked at how many artists I knew. Not only had heard of, but could recognize their style without even reading the names. Picasso and Monet were probably my favorites. I took pictures cause other people were doing it too so I didn't feel so bad :) haha

Then we had to leave Zurich cause our hostel was in an outlying town (about 20 minute train ride). We got to Winterthur, and apparently our hostel was above a club.... which might have been cool but the cover was 10 Francs (aka yeah right) and the bumpin music was really annoying when we were trying to sleep. 

So we went back to Zurich for dinner. We had real Swiss Fondue at a table outside on the main street. It was really cute. The three of us just talked and ate cheese fondue :) 

So that's pretty much the extent of Zurich. The next day we just walked around Zurich a little more. It was really different from most of our weekends cuase it was just the three of us, but I thought it was an interesting change of pace.
