Kenny looses a tooth. Is there a tooth fairy that deals in the Swiss Franc? I think so ...

|
| Checking out public transport. The tram is a quick way to get around.

Sylvia is surprised to find a lot of graffiti around the city. I guess this defines it as an urban center!

|
|
| Checking out the local Ikea where we bought lamps for the kids to read in bed.
|

Can't leave Ikea without getting hot dogs!
