From Ethel’s travel diary:

Zurich: June 29 – July 1, 1964

Got into Zurich 10 o’clock – called Gerde – then hotel – no room – transferred to another.  Very business-like and cold.  In the middle of the best shops in town.  Stayed the night.  Next day checked into The Bristol – nicer and cheaper.

Switzerland is delightful – clean, organized, confident, efficient – everyone seems comfortable.  I described it as being “antiseptic.”

Had very interesting day.  Took cable car up Mt. walked around University of Zurich.  Then another cable car – way up in the mts.  Beautiful homes and hotels – Zurich is a prosperous town.  No one seems poor.  Everything clean and in order.
