Zurich

Last night, I had a little piece of heaven: fondue from the people who invented it. I settled for the cheese fondue with pear brandy, served with pears and bread for dipping. It was delicious. Although the fondue restaurant was so busy we had to sit outside without heatlamps. It was chilly. And the people inside looked so warm! But the sterno kept us warm and after all it IS about the cheese. The town is so very cute. Houses date anywhere from 1300s to 1800s and advertise who lived there in keystones located above the doors or windows. Goethe was the one I recognized. It generally looks untouched except for the occasional starbucks.

The men here all look like the bad guys in WWII movies. And since they don't smile, they seem to be up to something. Curious. The women here are exceptionally tall. I have never felt so dwarfed except when I would audition in a roomfull of models. It's a lot like that.
