| Fall Swiss Cultural Trip ZURICH 22-25 October 2001 |
|
| The trip to Zurich was my second Swiss Cultural Trip. I went with 2 other sponsors, Tanya Trioufanova and Jen Starling, and a group of 10th and 11th grade girls. Zurich is a Swiss city that I had not visited at all, and I was actually excited about visiting. I don't have many pictures, but you can at least get an idea of the city. |

| We left early on Monday morning and had our usual tour of the our cultural city shortly after we arrived. Zurich has lots of churches!! We visited at least 4! I took pictures of some of them. |
| The highlight of my trip was going to see an opera. It was a Mussorgsky opera, and I think I missed a lot of the story because the translation was in German. Fortunately there was a synopsis in English. |

| The Limmat River has played an important part in Zurich's history. The city was basically built around the river. Apparently it's so clean that you can drink from it. I didn't try that. |

| Sorry the picture on the right is so dark. It was a yucky day! The Swiss National Museum is located behind the train station. It is a totally cool museum!! We were only there for about an hour and a half, and it wasn't even close to enough time to see everything. I would highly recomment visiting it if you are ever in Zurich. |
