Vacation...All I ever wanted

The Go-Gos would love it here in Zürich...seems like everyday's a vacation day!  Let's see...we arrived here on March 18...since then there have been 7 Sundays and 4 additional holidays...out of 44 total days (that's 25%!!)...yikes!  Will the grocery store EVER be open???


May 1 - Day of Work...or something like that


So, yesterday was May Day.  A day for workers' rights, so apparently there is the potential for protests against big business.  Steve was told not to wear a suit to work so as not to draw attention to his capitalist leanings...  Neither of us saw anything too crazy or scary. Just another vacation day for the Swiss masses!


Enjoying the lake - see the Alps in the distance??

Globus Department Store in the popular Bellevue area must have decided
to board up their windows for the day just in case - but left their outdoor seating area out.

A "Revolution" protest banner over billboard just down the street from the Globus store above.


Our downstairs neighbors pulled a lot of the outside shades down over their windows as well...we didn't do anything...maybe they knew something we didn't?
