More wonderings

I went wondering through a neighberhood yesterday. Found an English Reform church that was closed for remodel, a burger king, and a moder suspension bridge over the rail tracks. I went over the bridge and just walked up and down some residental streets, I found a beautiful park and took some pictures of a building there, its a kindergarden! Looked like a fancy mansion!! I was really close to the Rose Garden I want to visit sometime. I followed a footbridge back into oldtown and meandered back to the hotel. Today I will try to figure out the bus system so I can explore a new area of town.

For dinner we ate at the Hotel. We had rosta, a traditional Swiss dish, hasbrowns in a frying pan! You pick what goes with it, Jesse had the Swiss bistro which was mushrooms, tomatoes, and ham covered with Swiss cheese and topped with a fried egg. I forgot what they called mine, but it was a Swiss veal sausage covered in onion gravy. The food was GREAT!!! But Jesse and I should have shared one plate. We had beer, and finished dinner with an applestrudel and a drink the waiter said was the Swiss version of Jeager. The drink was awful, but we felt obliged to finish it. BTW, sorry for any misspellings, my spellcheck is set to German.
The rain held out until today, so I will spend most of my time indoors getting things done like picture labling and posting and invitation addressing.

Jesse's supervisor advised him that we didn't need to let anyone on this end know I was traveling with him, and since this supervisor spent 15 or so years in this office, Jesse thought he would know. Well the HR woman on this side is now concerned that the apartment she booked for us will not be adaquate for the two of us. It is a small apartment in a home closer to the office than we are now, and the owner is only in the building Monday and Fridays, we will go and see the place tomorrow and I'm really hoping that it will be ok. I told Jesse he may want to make sure he acknowledges the miscommunication and appologize for any inconvenience we caused the HR woman, maybe in a card. I'm glad we purchased some host gifts, one for her in-mind actually.

Please let me know if there is anything you want me to post about!
