A great time in Switzerland ...

I am currently in Switzerland on business in the Lake Zurich area. I had the pleasure of spending the evening in Rapperswil at the southern end of of the lake. This is a very pleasant city that is built around an old cloister.

Imagine the this scene:

It is a warm spring evening at sunset. You are sitting at an outdoor cafe in a grove of manicured chestnut trees on the shore of Lake Zurich. You look to your right and you see the sun setting over the lake. You look to your left and you see the golden evening light reflected off the snow capped Alps in the distance. In front of you you see the green hills that dive into the lake.

This makes the hassle of traveling worthwhile...
