Luzern, baths, and trikes

For about a week, the Thormoset family was all together in the same place at the same time. Sonya and Thomas had to work every weekday, but we still enjoyed some fun activities. Those of us who were on vacation went into Luzern one day, which was a fun city to visit. It's a typical European city with towers and old clocks that chime every hour and a castle to climb and look out over the city. There is a famous bridge that stretches along the river. It was a chilly day, and we stopped for coffee several times.
The next evening, we had so much fun at the natural thermal baths, which are so much better than Canadian hot springs (basically a large hot pool). These baths had a sauna (we chose not to pay more to visit that part), and several baths with different temperatures. There was a very hot pool next to a very cold pool, as well as an aromatherapy steam room.
Stefan, Nicole, Nathan and I also had a great visit to the city of Zurich, where we tried to walk into an old church but instead found ourselves in a modern art exhibit. We really enjoyed the walk along the lake, as well as the church that we did end up finding with spectacular stained glass windows. We met up with the rest of the family at the Blind Cow - a really unique restaurant where all of the waiters are blind are you eat in the pitch dark. It was a really interesting experience.
On Saturday, we joined Thomas' parents and brother for a great day riding trikes around. I wasn't sure what the trikes would be like, but it turns out they were like motorocycles, but with three wheels. We had such a great day riding through mountain passes and alongside lakes. We bought some lunch items at a grocery store in Interlaken, and then took them up to a lake to have a picnic. We also stopped for coffee at a little roadside Swiss restaurant. This was one of the best days - with fantastic scenery and a thrilling ride.
