Frohe Ostern!

The Schweitzer Osterhase found us in our hotel in Zürich, Switzerland. The Swiss Easter bunny left us all little bags of chocolaty treats! After a quick sweet breakfast we put on our Sunday clothes and headed into Zürich proper.

St. Andrew’s Anglican Church of England is located near central Zürich. It was wonderful being able to attend Easter services in English. There are no English speaking Churches in Graz, so we have been having home church. The folks at St. Andrew’s were very kind and even invited the kids to participate in a little egg hunt after services. Of course, they had hidden good Swiss chocolate eggs all over the little churchyard.

After church we meandered a few blocks down to the center of town and took a lovely Sunday Stroll along the Limmet River. Everyone was out enjoying the afternoon sunshine. We ate a nice meal at Vapiano’s Italian restaurant and then took a scenic drive around the entire Zürichsee. Once back at the hotel we freshened up and headed back out to enjoy another stroll along the lakeshore.

Beautiful neighborhood cemetery
We strolled through some lovely neighborhoods once we left St. Andrews and lo and behold the kids found…dangerous European playground equipment!

It was a peaceful and relaxing day. He Has Risen, Alleluia!
