Spring coming

Last week spring and warmth arrived in Zurich. The flowers popped out and we spent Saturday afternoon enjoying a picnic and sun along the lake. In the morning we had been given a tour of the old town by my colleague Christoph. That evening we had dinner with Jorien and saw a film with some other American (Young Adult - filmed in MN!).



On Sunday we planned to do some cross-country skiing. We were up early for a quick breakfast and headed to the train station. An hours train ride landed us in Einsiedeln. Unfortunately, my stomach is much more sensitive these days to how quickly or slowly it gets filled and I was sick by the time we arrived.

The ski trail was groomed but mostly ice and given that I had just emptied my stomach we decided that it did not look that tempting. A nice walk up the valley though and picnic lunch in the sun still made for a pleasant outing. We will have to see if there is another chance for cross-country skiing, the snow is melting fast...
