Breakfast in 3 languages

The cornflakes boxes here have german, french, and italian. So do the instruction books on the appliances. (At least we already know what to do with the cornflakes.)

Snow in Zurich

Last night, it began to snow. It was great! I packed several snowballs. The ground was covered in snow. The sad thing is the snow thawed in the afternoon, so it problably won't snow tomorrow. :-(

Zoo Zurich

Last week we went to Zoo Zurich. It had tons of animals from Alpackas to Zebras. It also had a place called Zoolino for kids. There was a huge playground that was really fun. Another part of Zoolino had prairie dogs that you could see from inside a mound! They also had an interesting display on bats. Another place was a walk-in habitat called the Masoula Rainforest. Some of the plants looked like ones we had seen in Singapore.There were lots of bats. We also saw red-ruffed lemurs and once, an iguana. We had a fun time there!

Zurich

We have finally arrived in Zurich. The trams here are very interesting. They are numbered 2-11 and 13-15. The picture on the upper right shows the 9 which runs by us. Another line that runs by us is the 10. There are other forms of trains, especially for going up steep hills. The Sielbahn Rigiblick, near our house, is a funicular railway -- two cars on a long cable. The Dolderbahn (lower right) is a cog-wheel railway -- a rack of gear teeth goes all the way up the hill.
