Switzerland, Awesome Fireworks

 

Our journey to Zurich in 2012 was in keeping up with our tradition to ring in the New Year some where we have never visited. With thousands of others we gather on the banks of Lake Zurich to ring in 2013.

 

As the midnight hour approaches we begin our personal countdown … 10, 9, 8, 7, 6 but then nothing happens.

 

 

 

 

Small cheers are made among friends then an announcement indiscernible to us is made over a public address system. About twenty minutes later an impressive firework show explodes into the night sky and the celebration of the New Year really begins.
