Catching up with a friend (Zurich, Switzerland)

To start the day, my friend and I walked on Bahnhofstrasse, deemed as one of the most expensive streets in the world.  There were so many expensive name branded stores.  Then we made it to the meeting point for the Free Walking tour (for the center of Zurich).  The guide this time was much more outgoing and there was a much better feel to the tour than the day before.  There were sooo many people on the tour, so it was a bit hectic.  However, there were so many nice views.  The tour didn't end on time, so I had to rush off to meet my friend for lunch.  It's crazy, but I hadn't seen this friend in 15 years!!! He looked pretty much the same, but just now with facial hair.  We met in university because he was studying abroad in California for a year.  We kept in touch here and there, but have never been able to meet up.  It was so great to catch up on each other's lives.  After lunch he needed to go back to work and I swam in the lake.  The weather was so nice again, that I had to take advantage of it and swim.  Then I walked around a bit and for dinner I had amazing raclette.  It was delicious!!

maybe one day I'll get something from here, but for now I prefer to travel
