Locked Up Abroad - Switzerland

April kept her streak of getting hassled at airport security intact on our way through Zurich. As usual, her bag was identified for additional screening. The first swab test came back positive, so the security person came back with some sort of battery powered hair drier and began rummaging through April's bag. At this point, I quickly removed my wedding ring and faded into the crowd so at least one of us could enjoy the vacation. April was annoyed but not surprised by my move, but I warned her about her nefarious activities. After watching a couple seasons of Locked-Up Abroad she should have known what she was getting into. But I imagine, locked up in Switzerland probably isn't too bad - likely no machetes. Luckily she passed the second test and I was able to reclaim her as my wife.

The flight was long, but the personal TVs, real silverware, and free booze were nice.

Our hotel is nice, but definitely not in the "prime" area. We are really close to the train station, which if you are familiar with Philly is like a dirtier 30th St. Station. We didn't get in until after 7PM, so we just dropped off our bags and got some quick pizza. April had a sausage pizza which was more like mystery meat, and I had what apparently was their clear flavor. I was able to convince her to "share" which should have let her on that something was up as I never share food. At least it was cheap.

After dinner we did a quick walk around town and saw ruins of a huge kegger in a park with bottles and trash everywhere. Beautiful.

This morning we woke up and headed out for a longer walk around town and saw some of the sights including the Pantheon, Spanish Stairs and the Trevi Fountain. April didn't want to see any of the major ruins like the Coliseum. We have a tour scheduled for tomorrow and she didn't want to spoil the surprise.
