This morning Jim and I ate a traditional European breakfast of bread, meat and cheese… really good bread, really good cheese and really good prosciutto.  Yum.  It was actually sort of brunch because we ate it so late.

In the early afternoon, Esther met us at the hotel, and we all went to the Zurich Zoo.  We took the tram up a steep, switchback road lined with really cool buildings, many of which belonged to a university.

I won’t write much for this post but instead share some photos.  Enjoy!

Esther is coaxing a snake up her arm.  Check out the expression on the little boy’s face.

Rodents of unusual size.

The grass is not always greener.

After the zoo, some frozen yogurt was eaten, and we said goodbye to Esther.

We then had a lovely dinner, before and after which I drooled over all the amazing shoes for sale in the closed shops.  They sell some awesome shoes here, and I hope to leave with at least one pair.

The sun was sinking as we walked back to our hotel.

I requested synthetic pillows from the front desk and am anxious to see if they’re comfy.
