A wonderful vegetarian meal at the world-famous Hiltl buffet.

And an awesome sushi dinner at Sala of Tokyo, "Japan's Food Embassy."

We went to this bar -- I don't remember the name -- but it's a small room with names carved all over the walls and tables. To earn the right to carve your name, you climb up through that little space in the ceiling beams, then hang down head-first so the host can serve you a glass of wine. I didn't do it but the woman sitting on the far right did.

We rented paddle boats and went swimming with Mollie's colleagues. The water was pretty chilly!

On the train on the way up into the mountains.

The day after our big hike, it was raining steadily, and water was pouring down off the mountains. The sound of waterfalls and rushing streams everywhere was incredible.

The clouds lifted and settled throughout our hike. This is finally coming downhill toward the town of Mürren.

Flowers by the side of the road into Mürren.

So many little chalets had window boxes stuffed with all kinds of flowers.

A typical street scene in Zurich... nice, small, human scale.

Red geraniums are the traditional flower for window-boxes.

There were all kinds of fountains with water that is apparently quite safe to drink.

Cool stonework outside a church.

Apparently even the Swiss are not immune to kitchy lawn decorations. Although maybe garden gnomes originated here.

Edelweiss!
