Sunshine!

The sun came out today! So we went for a walk. We walked up one of the big hills here. It's quite a lot of uphill walking. At the top the hills are all forested and there are trails all through the woods.

There are some great views of Zurich from the top of the hills. We stopped at this little vineyard and took a few pics. There are also lots of really nice houses up in the hills.

Here's a pic looking out towards our apartment. You can see the lake in the background a bit. Our apartment is a little to the right of and towards the lake from the tall steeple there.



Here's a broader picture, with the vineyard in the foreground.



There are lots of immaculately manicured lawns and landscaping at the expensive homes:



Then we went into the forest. The trails are nice and wide and easy to walk on and there were many other people out enjoying a walk through the woods.





We liked this tree:



Then after our long walk we were famished so we headed back downtown for the "best bratwurst in Zurich" at the Sternen Grill. It was pretty spectacular in my opinion but I have nothing to compare it to ... yet. I plan to eat many more of these bratwurst though. And, that mustard looks good in this picture but I think it was more horseradish than mustard. I can already tell we're going to miss this place when we move out of downtown.
