Zurich, Switzerland Part 3

Our last day in Zurich we went out to Uetilberg to check out the views

On the walk to the viewpoint, there is part of the solar system trail. The planets are to scale compared to the sun (above) and the distance is to scale as well

Mercury is a tiny dot in the blue

Venus is slightly larger


And the last planet we saw on the trail - Earth

Some fun lights


And the viewing platform

Benches at the overlook

It was beautiful! Still clouds covering the mountains in the distance, but it was still really gorgeous






The viewpoint from the viewing platform (the viewing platform cost a euro)







And the view from the viewpoint on the ground






A weird zoo(?) thing by the train station

And back to Zurich for lunch

But first - the Polybahn! It was closed the day prior so we couldn't ride it then when we rode the other two



This takes you up to the university








And finally lunch at Pot au Vert which we saw when we were wandering. This is the only place that was disappointing foodwise in Zurich. It was fine, but nothing exciting. We had a plate of steamed veggies with no seasoning

And tofu something which was okay, but I think I make better food than this. So not my favorite

Then it was off to the train station



And a train to Luzerne. Zuirch was great and I would definitely go back again if only to eat all the tasty food! It is very expensive, but oh I loved it there.

The next day we woke up and it was quite cloudy, but we still headed off to hike around Eibsee. 

Colmar, France Part 2 - All the museums!

So when we were wandering around Colmar and spying on all the things we saw a sign that we happened to be in Colmar on a free night at the museum! So most of the museums in town were free from 7pm-11pm/midnight (depending on the museum). So we of course had to go check them out! There were only four in town so we were able to go to all of them, though by the end we were so tired and our feet were so sore from a long day of exploring and long night of museums.  First up was the Museum Bartholdi, but I didn't take any photos in there (I wasn't sure I was allowed and it was super busy, so many people!). It was super tiny, but interesting. There were a lot of models of ideas he had for different monuments and then what he actually ended up using. The one room was just ideas and designs for the Statue of Liberty which was cool. There wasn't a lot there, but what there was I enjoyed.  Then it was over to the Natural History and Ethnology Museum Cool bugs

San Francisco Part 1

  Oh San Francisco. What a wonderful time I had there. It was absolutely beautiful the entire time. Sunny, warm, gorgeous. Plus getting to spend a few days with Jacalen and Patricia = So much fun! We definitely need to do more girls trips! This will be a mostly picture post   I arrived late afternoon and the bus dropped me off near Fishermans Wharf and I walked over to where we were staying. Oh, it was gorgeous outside, but with my bags and such I was a bit warm. Not expecting that in February! Patricia arrived a bit after I did and we had the evening to ourselves to do whatever we wanted! It was so nice out and we were staying in the Marina District so it was just a short walk down to the water. Beautiful!   After wandering along the waterfront for a bit it was time for some dinner! We happened to find the Plant Cafe and I got a plant burger with fries and a salad. Really tasty! Afterwards we went to get a drink and noticed the bar had trivia on Tue
