Zurich Trains

My travels started with a delayed flight from Los Angeles. Since we arrived in Zurich 2 hours late, I missed my conection. The airline gave me a hotel room for the evening. I loved the few hours that I was in Switzerland; Zurich is such a beautiful city... so clean and no homeless. It was a bit cold though. The true adventure began when I visiting downtown Zurich, which was a 10 minute train ride from my hotel. On the way back to my hotel I mistakenly got on a train in the opposite direction. So 20 minutes later I used the few German words that I know and English to communicate with a Swiss man. He was kind enough to help me get on the other train, but I was worried that I would not make it back to my hotel in time to catch the shuttle to the airport so that I could make my flight to Madrid. The shuttle was going to to leave the hotel at 11:00am and the train arrived in the station at 10:55 (the hotel is a 10 minute walk from the station). I ran from the train station in near freezing tempatures... good news is that I made it just in time (only by the grace of God). So I was on my way to Madrid.
