1st Stop Zurich

  Zurzach, Switzerland

The world was talking about Obama!

Ahh airports. 1st Stop Zurich.  Now I can say that I have been in Switzerland...or can I?  Does an airport count? Think of all the hours of our lives we have spent in airports. They are all the same in a way but very distinct.  La Guradia is a special hell.  I remember rocking chairs in the Colorado airport.  I've spent much time in the Richmond airport and you'd never confuse it with Kennedy and it's not just about size - it's mood, local culture, etc.

So this was Zurich. Chic, well-planned, spacious.  The little navette or tran played a soundtrack which featured mooing cows.  Charming.  Even at 2 in the a.m.  Hugo had to duck into the little smoking rooms which were built like self-contained bomb shelters.

 3 hours plus out of our lives.
