Zurich is a very pretty town. It soooo clean that you feel you have to
wipe your shoes before stepping on the sidewalk. The people are friendly,
speak English in addition to their native language, and are very helpful.
So, let's take teeny tiny tour.

The beautiful stained window and organ loft in the church. |

| We went to a local Chess match. The day was overcast
and cold, cold, cold, but these guys were out watching or playing the
game. The guy with his hands behind his back won. He may have
cheated though because I saw him nudge a piece with his foot. If you
study the board closely, you can see that this is a classic Queen and Rook
team up to beat the crap out of the King move. |

| The next day we went to Arosa, a ski resort in the
mountains 2.5 hours from the city. Before we arrived, Franci had
sent us an email telling us to bring sensible shoes because we were going
to the mountains. Something got lost in the translation because they
were wearing artic boots, ski pants, thinsulite jackets, mittens capable
of withstanding subzero temperatures and Antarctic hats. They were
warm. I was wearing waterproof shoes, jeans, dress gloves and a
windbreaker. I was so cold that twice I had to light my pants on
fire to save my feet. |

| Carol, Brigitte and Robin. Look at the background!
Brian was in the picture but fell over the edge. Robin is looking at
him tumble, but his mother hasn't missed him yet. |
 |
| While we were up there, four people came up with Paraglide
chutes. You can see two of the idiots taking off and all four of
them gliding. Yep, two chutes, four people...and two of the four
paid for the privilege! |
| The
whole group minus one in the first picture. So who took the second
photo? |

On to the most beautiful Church. |
