onward to Zurich

We are currently on board the TGV heading to Zurich. It has been a wonderful ride so far. Our Eurail passes got us into the first class section, and it is sooo comfortable. I was dreading spending the morning on yet another train, but this has been entirely relaxing. The countryside is beautiful, and now that we are in Switzerland it is even better. I love the Alps! We split a breakfast (13 Euros!!!) but it was plenty for both of us. We had bacon and mini hashbrowns, a baguette with excellent butter and cherry jam, and a chocolat croissant. Mmm. K has been reading a book all morning while I've been staring out the window. We are very excited about the New Year celebration in Zurich. It's supposed to be Switzerland's biggest party complete with massive fireworks. Our hotel is in the center of town, so we should be right in the middle of things. I'll give a full report tomorrow.
