Highlights of today:
An impromptu visit to Zurich. Described by the students as a small New York City, Zurich is situated on a lake with a beautiful clear river running through it. Carol Bradley and I climbed up to the top of the Grossmunster church and then visited the Chagall windows at the Fraumunster chuch. The students sampled Turkish food, visited a butchershop and took in the high end stores that Zurich has to offer. The afternoon rain storm didn't dampen anyone's spirits.
- We arrived in Engelberg around 3 p.m. We will be here for a week. We took a walking tour of this Alpine city and had a lovely dinner and reception in our hotel. The dinner included a fresh appetizer of cheese and bread, lasagna with fresh creamy ricotta cheese and creme brulee. As a surpirse the students celebrated my birthday along with the birthday of another student on the trip with a decadent chocolate ganache torte.
- Tomorrow we will tour a monastary, see a cheese factory and visit a casino in Lucerne. We are having a great time!
