View from the back window of the Google apartment.

Google's current office on Freigutstrasse.

The tram stop (Tunnelstrasse) to get to Google.

Zürich HB - the main train station.

Fountain outside Zürich HB.

Riding the tram down Bahnhofstrasse, big street with lots of shopping.

From the bridge overlooking the canal. That's St. Peter's church tower in the distance, with the largest clock face in Europe. The minute hand is 4m long.

Carousel on the bridge.

Truffles in the window of Confiserie Teuscher.

I want one of those balcony windows in my house, although I guess that'd be a tad out of place in Mountain View.

Steps lead up to the street and down to a small walkway alongside the canal.

Grossmünster cathedral. They wanted 2 Fr. to enjoy the view from the top and you couldn't take any pictures, so here's the outside view. :)

View of the city with St. Peter's church (center left) and city hall (right).

Old town Zurich.

Old town Zurich and its many outdoor cafes. There was a guy selling the most amazing chocolate/banana crepes out of a makeshift tent here.

Zurich architecture.

Zürichsee, or Lake Zurich. Tour boats pass each other on their way into and out of the canal.

Is this no cars or no SUVs?

Swans and other birds at dusk on Lake Zurich.

The autographed tram.

Doors to Grossmünster.

Dollhouse in the antique toy museum on Fortunagasse.

There was a special circus toys display (my favorite, ugh) upstairs in the antique toy museum.

Tin billiard player toy.

View through the upstairs window of the antique toy museum. The domed building (right) is a sky observatory. Rumor has it there is also a rotating restaurant up there (eek).

The first of two gondolas up to Mount Pilatus (Dragon Mountain) in Lucerne.

Me on the gondola.

Passing through the first stop on the gondola. We stayed on and rode to the top.

Trail up to the highest point.

Ian inevitably gets way ahead of me on these types of treks.

Me staring down at the world's steepest cogwheel railway.

World's steepest cogwheel railway tram.

View from the cogwheel railway, heading down the mountain.

More views from the railway.

Zooming in on the hills below (yes those are hills, we're on a *mountain*).

Passing by another tram at a track switchpoint.

Almost to the bottom of the mountain.

Me riding the train back to Lucerne.

Ian makes his art photography debut.

The little town Alpnachstad at the bottom of Mount Pilatus.

The Kapellbrücke (Chapel Bridge) and stone Wasserturm (water tower) in Lucerne.

View of shops along the river from the Kapellbrücke.

Swan on the river in Lucerne.

Other side of Seebruecke where it crosses the river.

An intersection in Lucerne. Kriens is the town where we started our gondola ride.

Cool facade on a restaurant in Lucerne.

View from what's left of the wall around the city of Lucerne. You could see the carnival set up on the shore from the battlements.

Me on the city wall in Lucerne.
