Old friends in Switzerland

This is Adrian showing me around his home near Zuerick. In the background is the village he grew up. Beautiful, no?

I arrived in the teeming train station of Zuerick in the afternoon. Crossroads of Europe with all points of the diaspora and excellent people watching. Some friends of Adrian met me there and later Adrian came to meet me. We caught up before meeting Nico, another mutual friend here in Zuerick. A few pubs, a hole in the wall Indian food place, and a late night stroll by the river ended at his place in the city. It began again the next day on a cold, rainy morning looking out the windows on the streets of Zuerick in a strange little country called Switzerland...

We first met years ago in Nepal and spent over a month exploring the country. Hiking up into the high snows near the Tibetan border, to the dusty heat of the plains and rice fields near the Indian border. Adventuring through such a crazy country for awhile you make strong connections.

This time around replace the Himalaya for the Alps :)
