Zurich (plus)

We had a long layover in Zurich on Wednesday – 10 hours. Obviously we went into the city instead of hanging around the airport.

I left my camera behind. I foolishly checked it thinking that we’d have to take our bags through customs. So the following were all taken by Cec and are NOT used with permission, but are in fact stolen from Facebook. Please note that neither Cec nor MIT condones this behavior.

With that disclaimer, let’s begin:

This is me standing in awe (I think) in a little road in Zurich. It’s a nice little city, though the fog of timezone, almost no sleep on the plane, and extremely hot, humid weather muddled my brain some.

Zurich sits at the top of a lake, and a river flows through the city and into the same. The water is absolutely perfectly clear.

Just a random building on a random corner.

I actually don’t remember this. But given where it was in the order of things, it must be looking up toward the University.

How adorable is this?

Ah, now this is in Ljubljana. It’s all of our backs as we’re heading to dinner the first night. There I am on the right looking extremely short. Is that an illusion? Or why has no one told me I’m so short? Had duck for dinner that night. Really good.

Here’s me and Davor on the way into Venice. There was great concern over whether I’d get sea sick, as I’d never been out on non-tiny-river-in-New-Hampshire-or-still-lake-in-the-midwest water. I did just fine.

Here we all are in front of some statue. That’s Mara between us – she’s from Berkeley.

No, not a postcard.

Here were are in front of Cassanova, though his head didn’t make it into the shot. That’s Cec on my left. Jenny, note the prominent display of my bag throughout the trip. Everyone else, order your own custom-designed bag by Little Mess Designs!

Hi.

Once again: These are photos by Cec, stolen and used with abandon. I feel shame.
