Where I stayed

Flag of Switzerland  , Lucerne,
Monday, June 1, 2009

Luzern - Ok, now I have a new favorite city. I wake up today and just about all of the stores are closed.... WHY? Well its a catholic holiday, and Switzerland is mostly Catholic. I though it was protestant. Oh, well... it doesnt matter much, other than it saves me from buying unnecessary souveniers. Its home to a famous sculpture of a Lion that was sculpted directly into a hill to conmemorate the deaths of Swiss mercenaries that died protecting a french king. Food = EXPENSIVE. See pics.
