I dont love swiss cheese, but i do love their chocolate

youll have to forgive any typing errors here, ive finally hit a keyboard that is a little wonky, most notably the y and z are switched and there is no exclmation point? weird huh.... Anyway, took our first overnight train last night from amsterdam to zurich, man do they love to check passports and tickets....5 times overnight, jerks, wont let a girl sleep. Actually we did get a fair amount of sleep, but still showered right when we found a hostel here. And....the internet is free, im loving it. Anyway headed out on the town, found...a)the largest clockface in europe 8.7 meters diameter, it is actually quite large. b) a church with stunning marc chagall windows. c) a really cute old town and d) a nice lake. Zurich isnt a small city, but it does have some very cozy bits to it. The weather was mostly nice, and occasionally drizzly, but never for more than like 20 minutes. We tried to go to their art museum, but their permanent exhibit was being refurbished, and all we could see was a bunch of flemish still lifes, gee do the dutch love to paint fruit....oy. All told it was a nice day, i sent erin home to nap in the afternoon and wandered the shopping disricts by myself, theres something fun about a city with cozy medieval bits and a street filled with Tiffany and Prada....then went to spend some zen time with the chagall windows, really just a very calm spiritual place. Also....a huge number of swans here, odd? i think so..... Im off to prepose a very serious card tournement to erin for our evening activity. Tomorrow a day in Lucerne and then off to the captiol of switzerland, Bern.
