Zurich outing

  This weekend we enjoyed an overnight trip to Zurich. We drove there Saturday morning, as the snow was falling, and drove home early Sunday afternoon, as more snow fell. Was it ever cold (when we were outside).
Saturday we enjoyed strolling through the largest Christmas market in Europe (held in the the main train station). The market centerpiece: a 50-foot tall Christmas tree glittering with more than 5000 Swarovski crystal ornaments is visible from any spot in the market. The effect is nothing short of dazzling!
After a comfortable night in a very modern hotel, we took a 2 hour trolley tour of the city.

We thoroughly enjoyed the trip (especially watching Troy and Quinn eat their dinner desserts) but it was also good to get back to our warm house well stocked with reasonably priced food. 

We ended the day by joining the friendly folks at the Westlake church for the 5 pm service and then dinner and relaxing at home.
