Rama Sita, The Uetliberg, & Cate falls under the train

Yesterday, we took the tram and the kids to see the Rama Sita exhibit at the Reitberg Museum..in the swankier part of the city.
The highlight of the day was the Tibetan/Hindu exhibit....oh and the Japanese art. Love that Japanese art...especially Crescent Moon Reflected in Water.
It was all very romantic. Black and white photos of India, stone Buddha's from 520...not even in behind glass. Bad idea, since I tripped and almost took one out.

And today...where do I begin? Let's start with me getting to the station and announcing to everyone that in the rush to get out of the flat...I forgot to take my meds. The look of horror on Ally and Rick's face is unexplainable. Just use your imagination. From here, as we're boarding the train, Cate misses a step and falls down between the train and the platform. It all happens in slow mo..she trips...and I see her face slowly begin to disappear under the step of the train. I snatch her up and of course, she is hysterical and then asks for a snack.

It's only a 20 minute ride up the Uetliberg...known as the top of zurich...spectacular views after a little uphill hiking. All free fun.

p.s....bring your own lunch, as ours cost 80chf..for a couple chicken nuggets.
