Switzerland’s ‘part-time’ friar
A Ferry-ride to Rapperswil
Our time settling into life in Switzerland has been stressful–not only have we had to move ourselves to a new city in a new country, but I have also had to settle into a new job, and facilitate our family starting from scratch in so many realms: banking, legal status in this country, learning shops and neighborhoods. And now that we have finally had time to breathe, we are beginning to look for a more permanent apartment which we will outfit with our own furniture, much of which will be similar or identical to our Ikea furniture from the States.
But despite this frenzy I told my wife I wanted to take a family day. I had worked the Sunday before, on short notice, and we had a little time to plan something nice. So yesterday we boarded the Helvetia, and set off to the medieval quarter of Rapperswil. (slideshow included)
