Zurich the Third

This blog is coming to you, semi-live and semi-verbatim from Laura's apartment.

A: Are you ready to be amusing?

L: M tongue is tingling... from the kiwi. It was really tart.

A: OK. Well, today we went to Bellinzona. It was a two hour train ride to get there and the town is predominantly Italian.

L: We didn't believe that Marco could speak Italian, we needed proof.

A: I'll tell you what wasn''t Italian:


A: being guided by iPhoheslashIan the entire time!

L: Bellinzona is the capital of Ticino. "There are three massive fortified castles. It is the only example of late medieval military architecture preserved along the Alpine range." (That's very specific). It's a UNESCO world heritage site.


A: The views were amazing.


L: Where's the view of people rolling on top of each other?

A: Right here... there's a person under that person with the horrid orange pants.

A: There were other amusing sights as well.


L: This book also says no one complains about the weather in Ticino.

A: Why?

L: Because it's amazing. The weather was shite here.

A: Yes, it was 11 degrees and rainy in Zurich. I would also like to note that I've learned that all people do here is run for trains (connecting and otherwise) and put on sweaters - it's cold.

L: We like to maximize efficiency. Why waste a minute?

A: After a day of touring, we went for FONDUE!

L: To the rabbit house!

A: This was the view from our table.

L: So cute!

A: Unfortunately, rabbit was also on the menu. We ordered too much cheese fondue.

L: Ian's favourite part was where the potatoes that came with the fondue came in a cloth bag.

A: Note blue potato bag in picture.

L: We ordered 600 g of cheese - 200 per person.

A: Marco wouldn't eat the cheese so he had chicken. I would note that 600 g of cheese translates into a 6 month old cheese-baby.

L: I don't have any witticisms. Ian, make me a witticism!

I: I don't have any.

L: mmm. We like having Adie and Marco. They are fun. We like them.

A: Aww. We're having fun, too!!! OK. Fuzzy sharing time is over. See you tomorrow in Uetliberg!

I have but two observations:

1. You all wear glasses. Neat-O!

2. There is no such thing as too much cheese fondue! NEVER!!!!

That is all...
