Little Tim's first snowman

Last night we've got snow I assume for the hundredth time of this winter. Little Tim and I cleaned the entrance and after that feeded the birds and built a snowman beside the pizza oven.

Little Tim's first exercise festival

Hello all,

Katie and Tim regularly go every Wednesday for exercises. It is in a hall 5 minutes away from our home and little Tim really likes to go there. I guess you probably would call it a registered society. A lot of other children are there but Tim is the youngest - not the smallest. :-) He's usually running in the hall most of the time and I personally think that it is good for him. His movement is getting better and better. They are singing songs together and just having fun. Yesterday was the day of a festival which usually is once a year. Different groups made their exercises and the smallest ones as well. They have been dressed like little sheeps. Outside different food and beverages have been sold in order to get money for the society. Katie and I donated 15 sandwiches - the others cakes, sausages and other things. Please find below some pictures. Enjoy!

Jodi had a very interesting drive to work this morning.

Isn't that the truth?

During my walkin Zurich a couple weeks back, I came across this sign posted in a window. I wonder if the sign's author was making a statement about the differences between men and women.

I am always amazed about the amount of English in European advertising... English must be seen as hip and trendy because you see it all of the time.

We got Snow

Today we got about 10 inches of really wonderful snow.

My afternoon in Zurich

I had one afternoon in Zurich and unfortunately I had a cold as well. I needed to do some shopping so...

I ran up to the room and dropped off my bags. Down to the concierge to ask where the shopping district was so that I could get some swiss chocolate and pick up a gift for Jodi.  Turns out that the shopping district was on the other side of the train station from where I had just come.

So I took a nice stroll along the river... of which I do not know the name... back to the railroad station and the shopping district.

Along the way, I passed the Swiss national museum.  No time to dally, off to shop & then back to bed. This was the most sunshine I would see during my entire trip.

Through the train station... later, on the way home, I would stop here to have a burger at Burger King (I am so ashamed...).

Yay, on the other side of the train station was the shopping district. Within an hour, I had everything I needed and headed back to the hotel.

 

Back, through the train station, past a statue of somebody I never heard of.

 

Once again along the river to the hotel, where I spent the rest of the afternoon and evening in bed with my cold. the next morning I flew back to Dayton. So, that was my day in Zurich.

That is all that I have to say about Zurich.
