I guess since Ruth left Switzerland almost two weeks ago, it's high time I finish blogging about her visit. In my defense, it's been a little busy over here, but still...
On Ruth's last full day, which happened to be a Saturday, we spent the morning and early afternoon sleeping in, having brunch, putting together furniture, and unpacking. Finally, we had enough and decided to walk around Zürich and enjoy the beautiful weather. We walked down Bahnhofstrasse and had a quick visit to Sprüngli to pick up some of their famous Luxemburgerli before heading to the lake. It was really clear, so you could see the mountains at the end of the lake- beautiful! We sat by the lake and enjoyed eating our sweet treat and watching the boats and people.
We also wandered around the Niederdorfli, where we randomly ran into a parade of piccolo players and drummers. Not sure what this was for, but it was interesting. We followed the parade through the streets until we could get a good view, although we were a little nervous that this was some sort of Pied-Piper situation where we'd end up drowning in the river or something. However, we escaped!
Zürich is a beautiful city, especially at sunset, and we had a really lovely time on Saturday wandering around. Yay for sunsets and sisters!
