Around town





It's hard to believe we leave Switzerland in one month.  I've been carrying the camera with me to capture more images of the city and the places we frequent.  The first photos are of an area in Zürich called Stauffacherplatz.  We are there regularly to go to the American Women's Club of Zürich for dance classes and for library books.  It takes about 30-40 minutes on the tram to get there, depending on which connections we make.  Wednesday and today have been spectacularly sunny.  We haven't seen skies this clear for months.  The mountains are now covered with snow and make for an impressive skyline from downtown and from the top of Stettbach near our apartment.  Today we took a walk and played at the park.  A little girl from Elisabet's class was at the park and it was fun to here them all speaking German with her.  We hiked up the hill that the Kindergardeners take for the Waldtag hikes and then back down past the farm fields. Elisabet wore her crown for our excursion.  They had a birthday celebration at her school on Friday for all children with winter birthdays.  With 42 children in the school, they decided that was a better way to do it than have a birthday celebration nearly each week!
