This morning, Sophie and I were up bright and early to have breakfast in the hotel. It was, once again, fabulous! We then set out on the metro to Bahnofstrasse and visited three cathedrals before noon!
The first was St. Peters, with the largest clock face of any tower in Europe! Then Fraumunster, aka the women's church, with beautiful stained glass windows. Finally Grossmunster, with a huge statue of Charlemagne in the basement/crypt area! They were all decorated with carvings around the door and animals in the wood. It was super sweet.
Around 11am we went to the Swiss National Museum! It is a really great museum with tons of neat artifacts from Switzerland's history. There was also a paper cut art exhibit: I've found another new favorite form of art! It was so detailed, and the layering made the shadows from the light give it a whole other dimension.
For lunch, Sophie ordered something from a cafe, then we both got Nutella crepes. They were possibly the tastiest thing I've had all trip. I'll be dreaming about them tonight. And the rest of the week. (Let's be honest, the rest of my life.)
We then went to the airport, shopped at the duty free store and met the rest of the group at our terminal!
I'm on the flight to Boston now, with arrangements to be at Colby by tomorrow afternoon! I'll put up another post on reflections, but that is how today went!
