Just by luck, I happen on a CARNEVAL celebration weekend in Zurich. Yesterday, the old city center was alive with people, mardi gras-like beads, tons of confetti and an odd assortment of costumes, bands, and well-lubricated people enjoying the event.
I did not arrive on site until about 7:00 p.m., but even at that hour, the town was alive with action. Actually, I had arrived to find someplace to eat dinner, but those plans were put on hold for a bit so I could experience the festivities.
Walking just one block in either direction from the wild festival atmosphere brings you to the peaceful river and a great illuminating view church spires.
Sounds like you are already having a great time. Good Travels my friend see you in a few weeks!
David,
I guess this is better than our oyster roast today? We will give you a pass on this one! Wish we were with you.

I have not visited Zurich with David, but I think I would like to in the future!
What a wonderful experience this would be!
Carneval! Wow. I’ve always wanted to go for that.
