Swiss National Day



August 1 is the day Switzerland celebrates its anniversary of independence. This year Switzerland was 718 years old. The fireworks started early in the morning- before 8 am- and continued on until well past midnight. As the darkness settled over the city, we went up onto our rooftop terrace to see the fireworks being set off all over Zürich. Some looked as if they were even being lit out of apartment windows!
