19 octobre 2009

I went to my courses this morning and Momma went to the local chocolate factory, Villars Chocolate, and got lots of chocolate to take home a few pieces of Switzerland. When I got out of class around lunch, we hopped on a train to Zurich! We checked into our hotel and then started off walking. First stop, one of the most expensive streets in the world, literally: Bahnhofstrasse. We spent a good bit of time in the Louis Vuitton store, oohing and aahing over future Christmas presents J and getting great advice from a Louis sales rep. on where to go, eat, and drink in Zurich. We took his advice and went to the water, crossed the Quaibrucke, and had an amazing hot chocolate and apple tarte at Café Schober. We walked through Old Town (incredibly beautiful winding, cobblestone roads) and had the best dinner at another place recommended by our Louis friend. I had my favorite, wiener schnitzel, with a fresh cranberry sauce J Such a great way to end the week with Momma in la Suisse!

  1. We loved the old part of Zurich and had some great food there. There is also a great park on the other side of the river, up above town where we watched people play chess on huge chess boards.
