Language class day 2

So yesterday we went to the market a few tram stops away and had to ask the vendors how much certain things cost... My group had the most accurate answers, so we got chocolate!!
It was delicious:)

Then we went back to the school and had a lesson, had a lunch break where I had Wehe (I think that's how it's spelled.. I don't know), which is a pie-like thing, it comes in all different flavors with fruits or berries on it, or just with Rahm, which is cream in German. That's what I had:) Also, it is socially acceptable to have it for lunch or dinner, which is a bit unusual for foods.

At the train station there were a bunch of people in orange sunhats giving away mini cans of Fanta (soda). It was really cool, because at home in such a small city we don't ever get people advertising in such ways.
We then went on the train to the Uetliberg (a mountain). There we walked up a very short incline and arrived at a tall viewing platform-type thing, which we promptly climbed up. 

There were 178 steps, I counted... There was a fabulous view from up there, and we all took pictures and oohed and aahed.
It was gorgeous.

We finished the day by wandering around old Zurich, then going to a public swimming place on the lake of Zurich. It was super fun!
But the very best part of my day was skyping with one of my best friends. I love and miss you, Kk!!!
