This was Nanikon-Greifensee as I recall. Lovely neighbourhood!

A lovely post and showing me insight and information about Zurich that I didn’t know, but am glad I now do. Hope this message finds you well wherever you are on your train journey.

Best Regards

I have a son in Swissland… when I was learning editing and negative matching in 1972, there was a girl on the sixth floor, named Rainbow, who worked for the photo processing lab there, and she and I would get together… Together… on east tenth street and second ave… bathtub in the kitchen and toilet out in the hall… late night sax player upstairs…

we had a baby boy, and eight days later they caught a plane back to Swissland… I guess you could imagine the look of confusion I portrayed went I went over there on the ninth day and found out she left…

Good things do come in little packages, and I thank the Lord for that… I was literally walking on air… I was lucky enough to see him that first week of his life, even brought over a high-boy chest that I got on Hudson St from an antiques dealer, that I got for 80 bux… I have his address and a few pix of him, in Zurich, if you get the chance to slide by… had the chest for a while, but then that too migrated down to my belly…

Marriages, mortgages and mosquitoes aren’t the best things in my life it seems… why hasn’t someone come up with a marriage spray yet?

BTW, don’t be offended, but that ‘mmm…raclette!’ pic… you’re flipping gorgeous!!!

@Nancy & Shawn – Two friends, actually! I felt very lucky that they live so close together.

@Amanda – Yes, I’d have expected it of Basel, but not necessarily Zurich. Too bad Switzerland is so expensive though…that’s the only down-side.

@Henry – Thanks!

Your experience of Zurich sounds very similar to how I experience Basel – it’s so close to get into what feels rural and so safe, too. I’m a big fan of Switzerland!

Glad you had a good time seeing an old friend.
