Hi all,
Well I find myself catching up on the blog. Several days of busy traveling and difficulty finding Wi-Fi..here we go:
The main train station in Zurich is one of the largest in Europe. Lot's going on here, check out the arrival/departure board! The Swiss have this system down, all trains amazingly on time. Boards tell you exactly when train will arrive. Makes it easy. Went east out to St. Gallen, small city with a World Heritage site Monastery and Library. Look at pic of the Library, delicately carved shelves, floor. Ancient books many medieval and some dating back to 300BC. Then went to Apenzeller town, cute little country town with it's own, conservative culture. Here the town votes in the main square by a show of hands!!
On to Luzern tomorrow, hope weather holds up.
