Wyles in Zurich summer 2010: Ershter August (1of3)

Today is the Swiss national holiday celebrating the formation of the Swiss federation in 1291.  There are always lots of fireworks, Swiss flags, loud celebrations, alcohol, and good times with friends.  The weather during the day was sunny and warm so we went back to the lake with two rubber dingy boat and oars in which we had “dragon ship battles” the rules of engagement and objectives of which I never understood.

Eitana and I went for a walk in Herrliberg because she did not want to go in the lake.  She showed me the Kindergarten class that she attended and we played in the playground next to a church close by.  The church has a functional sun dial that tells the correct time (during part of the year).
