On our way to Zurich, we stopped at the Rhine Falls in Schaffhausen. The falls are only 23m high, 150m wide, and 13m deep. The falls are 14,00-17,000 years old.

If you click on this picture it will enlarge and you will be able to see the Alps in the distance. Most days the sky isn't clear enough to see them, we lucked out :)
We left for Switzerland at 6am. Zurich is only about 2.5 hours from here, but we stopped for breakfast and for the falls. Zurich was a fun city. I tagged along with a lady, her husband, and her folks who were visiting. I was happy to have them adopt me for the day. Otherwise, I don't think it would have been quite as fun.
Switzerland still uses Swiss Francs, but a few places will take Euro. So, we had to deal with a third type of currency and we never found a place to truly exchange it. Other than at a chocolate store where you could pay in Euro and get Franc back. I spent a lot of money on chocolate, but it is very very good chocolate.
We also went to the main park in town to check out the flee market. I found a few treasures there ;). Before loading the bus for home, we bought some cheese, meat, and bread from a big grocery store. We made our own sandwiches for dinner. Luckily, the grocery store took credit cards because otherwise I wouldn't have gotten dinner(no Francs to spend).
We arrived home at 715pm.
The next day was spent finishing one of my new books and cleaning the whole apartment. Unfortunately, I had to go back to work on Monday.
21 days left, I think.
