Home in Zurich!

Well, we are now Zurich residents! We registered at the city hall and set up a bank account. Both are difficult without the proper 'papers'. Getting the proper 'paper' is also difficult! Today we also tackled the difficult problem of getting the proper trash bags! You have to by them from the city of Zurich. They are called Zuri-Sacs. If you don't separate your trash; glass each by different color, paper, lawn waste, plastic, aluminum and tin, you get in big trouble! Tara has signed up for a Yahoo account and is signed on for anyone from the family or friends who want to talk to her. Please contact her at pokemontarat@yahoo.com. We love our little cave rooftop flat. It is very close to everything. It is raining here but it is also time for Mass so the church bells have been ringing for an hour ;). We have had fun riding the trams and the trains everywhere. We have a pass that we can ride any train, tram, trolley, boat or bus in the entire canton of Zurich. We just get on whereever and get off when we want. One time we were going the wrong direction so we rode until the train got to the end of the line and turned around to go the direction we wanted to go!
Love to all we will write soon!

Sounds like a lot of fun and a little slower-paced too. Great pics. Looks wonderful and cozy.
