Zurich Switzerland

It's been cold and snowy here for the last week, so we decided to take a day trip to Zurich to enjoy some indoor activities. Only 50 miles from our house, it's a quick and easy drive. We took advantage of a deal offered at the tourist office. The Zurich Card offers free admission to museums, unlimited free rides on public transportation, and discounts at restaurants. Our first stop was the art museum, better known as The Kunsthaus Zurich. This is a great museum filled with works by some of our favorites like Giacometti, van Gogh, the Swiss artist, Koller and others. After lunch we visited the House Constructive Museum. Well, there were "interesting" works there from Gunter Umberg and Verena Loewensberg. After a quick walk down the shopping street we decided to head back to Basel. When the weather is better, we'll go back to see more and maybe go on the walking tour or even a boat tour around Lake Zurich. There's a lot to see in Zurich. You can see our pictures here.
