Bright, sunny day

Today we were blessed with a bright, sunny day.  According to the weather forecast, we are in for cooler, rainer days over the next week or two, so we aimed to enjoy it, especially since Lynnie plans to leave for Florence tomorrow to spend a few days with her old friend Sean.  So, we headed off to one of Lynnie's favorite venues in Zurich, the open-air Burliplatz Flohmarket (flea market), right across from the main pier of the Zurichersee (Lake Zurich).

Today's market did not disappoint.  There was a wide selection of very interesting stuff at mostly reasonable prices.   So, although we were just browsing, Lynnie actually ended up buying some beautiful scarves and a cool pair of shoes.  Here's some of what we saw:

And here's Lynnie cool 'new' shoes:

After an hour or two of browsing, I had hoped we would take a boat ride on the lake, one of my favorite things to do in Zurich, on what was probably one of last good days to do this season.  Unfortunately, I started feeling very weak and tired, so much so that we decided instead to head home to rest.  Good thing, because it turned out I had some kind of intestinal problem, which fortunately didn't last too long.  Later that evening we were able to take another stroll before we had to get Lynnie packed and ready to go to Florence.
