I left my Money in Switzerland

Well, this is it. Our last trip while living in Germany. Driving in the center of Zurich was crazy. C.r.a.z.y. We walked around downtown a bit and took advantage of Sandemans Free Tours. Zurich itself is a big city, but the downtown area was very cute. With banks on every corner! And incredibly expensive as they say! We happened to be in town during Zurich's largest festival, Züri Fäscht that happens every 3 years. Oops. The number of people crowding the streets was unbelievable. I knew they expected close to 20,000 guests but with no organization, that made it a little tough. Even worse, the amount for 1 beer was close to 12CHF, about 15$ and a mixed drink was 15CHF, close to 18$. The time it took to get past people and get in line to get a drink, almost wasn't worth it. Around 2230, the fireworks began. This was the first time I had ever seen a fireworks symphony, and it was pretty impressive. It was nice to see Fireworks so close to the 4th of July.
