SORRY!!! Swizerland day 2 and 3!!!

Sorry this took so long! i'm home now, as you might already know... i'm at my parents house and i'm going to do my best to get the rest of the pictures up! This is it for Switzerland! I loved it and i miss brenda so much!!!
Brenda and I in Zurich!





The Roads were so awesome.






This was a resturant NEXT DOOR to Patti's house. It was run by an old german speaking woman. It was basically a house with some tables. There was only one other table there and it seemed to be the womans guy friends. They sat and smoked and drank. We couldn't speak any German and she couldn't speak English so a guy helped us order. The woman was the one who cooked too! We got a giant slab of pork, YUM!, and potatoes looked like hash browns. It reminded SO much of Grandpa. It smelled like Smoke, Pork, Potatoes, and Beer.





The Next day, brenda and i went up a hill RIGHT behind Patti's house and it was BEAUTIFUL!















NEXT: Mom and Dad in Italy, and GREECE!

CIAO CIAO!

Hot Chocolate and Cheese in Zurich.... (Part 1)

This is the first part of the SECOND day.... theres just so many pictures!!!!!!!

It started to snow at first when we were there, but after a few hours it turned into rain... but that NEVER stopped us. It was such different weather than what we're used to in Firenze, so it was actually kinda nice.


middle of the city.


Swatch watch store.

Train and bus station.

Museum in Zurich or Musee Suisee





After the museum, we spotted a starbucks and I just HAD to get hot chocolate (there is none in italy, really). Plus it was a taste of home, which was nice.


Old Town, Zurich.

On of the bridges from one side of old town to the other.


Other side.





Fondue at Swiss Chuchi. VERY yummy.

We found of from Patti that the Swiss make a Swiss wine that isn't really exported. I guess Switzerland makes and distributes a lot of their goods only to their own country. Its kinda cool.

Prepared.


Before....

Dipping....

Eating...

After...

Fondue graveyard. We almost finished all of it.

Next up.... Hot Chocolate and Cheese in Zurich (part 2)......
