Amazing, Zurich has a mall - just like in the states! Well, not exactly your average mall; it's more Galleria-like. You can get there by train, tram, bus but cars seem to be discouraged (very few parking spaces). It's quite beautiful - rebuilt around some older buildings - combination of old, new & very funky. It's called Sihlcity because it's on the Sihl River & there are lovely views of the river. It's convenient for Antje - just the 2nd or 3rd train stop. Ginny, a friend & Kevin joined us - at least for a Gelato; then peeled off to explore their own interests. Still, all in all, it's a mall. I was happy to jump on the tram and head to the Niederdorfstrasse - one of my favorite streets in Zurich; strolling, watching the street scene and window shopping.You didn't seriously think Philip or Chris mall hopped did you? I think not. The boys headed down to the lake and took a boat cruise - drinking beer & eating brats & pommes frites. I believe they napped along the way. Best of all they returned home with Sprüngli Luxemburgerli.
I should take note that while I can't remember the order of meals - Antje should open a catering shop - better yet come live with us! Simplify my life & add to the richness of it! We had wonderful food - my favorites - pies; cheese & fruit; wonderful cheeses & breads; pizza, warm sandwiches with pepperoni & cheese, all kinds of salads; yummy greek yogurts; fresh ground oats (really fresh; I ground them before breakfast); nothing she fixes is less than gourmet. Chris is not a bad hand at cooking himself - providing he can locate the correct pots & pans without slamming the doors & disturbing my reading.
