This weekend I discovered some new places in Zürich (thanks to my friend Sarah)!
I met up with Sarah and her friend Barbara on Saturday afternoon, and we went to the Viaduct and had a long coffee in the Markthalle. Since the weather was rainy and cold, it was nice to be somewhere cosy with good friends, people-watching and coffee. What more can you want, really? Eventually the rain let up a little, and we visited the Turkish market (mosque-shaped alarm clock, anyone?) and saw the Brockenhaus (thrift store), the Mexican market and some great coffee shops. It was fun to get to know this neighborhood, which is a little bit more diverse and interesting than some of the other neighborhoods I've seen. I'm pretty excited to have finally figured out where these markets are, as they seem to have a good variety of interesting comestibles at good-for-Zürich prices. Plus, I've started to have a hankering for some good Mexican food. When the El Paso taco kits at the Coop start looking good, you know something needs to change...
On Sunday, the weather was super nice and sunny, so I took a walk in the forest. It was clear enough to even catch glimpses of the Alps! I can't wait for summer and for hiking in the mountains again!
