We got to Zurich between noon and one, found our hotel and discovered the city. On the train to St. Anton we met a couple, Jeff and Claire, from Houston who lived in Zurich. They had just returned from skiing and gave us a bunch of great recommendations of places to eat and things to do. For dinner we found the brat stand they recommended across from the Bellevue tram station and it was awesome as advertised.
Jason was nervous the entire afternoon until we figured out the exchange rate. The dollar is very close to the Swiss frank, but things are insanely expensive. A soda is SFr 5. It seems as though there are sex shops everywhere. Maybe its just where Jason and I happen to hang out, but the posters are nasty and plentiful.
On top of the city, at Lindenhof on a site that used to be a Roman fort, are a bunch of chess boards and old guys playing chess.
