Zurich

Well, I was excited. I was going to Zurich all by myself, I don't speak any comprehensible German, and I was going to see where Dada was born. It was rainy and cold, but that didn't matter. First order of business: find Confisserie Sprüngli. After much searching in the rain, I finally found it and when I entered my mouth started watering. (I hope that is an expression in English...) They had all kinds of truffles, cakes, ice creams, pastries. HEAVEN. I decided to be conservative and buy only one small champagne flavored cookie with chocolate in the middle. They have a special name, but I can't think of it right now. It literally melted in my mouth. The woman who helped me was very nice and spoke in English and taught me how to say 'I would like' in German. The tea room upstairs was closed due to renovations unfortunately, so I was^n't able to have a hot chocolate.

But, I went to a small restaurant where I had a quiche with leeks. Very salty. But, good nonetheless. After, the sky was blue for just a few minutes so I snapped a few photos of the river Limmat and of the cathedral/clock towers. I sat underneath the Grossmünster, which is not German for a gross monster, but for 'big church' apparently. It was pretty.

Then I found my way to the Kunsthaus which is a museum and just as I bought my ticket I got a call saying I needed to come back to chat with a student. So, I did just that, but unfortunately I wasn't able to go into the Kunsthaus, only give them my 10 CHF. I will most likely be a frequent visitor of Switzerland so I will go back to Zurich sometime in my life.
