Switzerland Jan. 2016

U--Three salad dressings, private branded by Migros. That's all. Don't think it's a salad culture. 
-I came out of the National Museum to snow. Last time I came out of a museum to snow was with Aunt Leona in Chicago when I was 14. My first trip, leading me to the life I have today.
-Grossminster church has windows made with thin slabs of agate and one with the 'vase / face' motif.
-Small population with one of the most expensive shopping streets in the world.
-Apple store paid millions to Beneton to have the spot on the Banhofplatz - most expensive shopping street in Europe-and is the highest grossing in Europe. 
-When the reformation came here, the convents were abolished and the nuns were to marry. Ouch. 
-Can wear a fur coat.
-Neck scarfs as big as a blanket.
-Cigarettes for sale in vending machines on street corner.
-Cheese, watches, fabric, wonderful exports.
