Spent the afternoon walking through Zürich with Claudia.

Sunset.

Schanzengraben. This is a sidearm of the Sihl and used to be the moat outside the city fortifications. A corner or two of the old fortifications still exist, but I didn’t take any pictures.

Lindenhof, in Zürich. People play Bocha, chess, and tourists take pictures of the Limmat flowing by. Very nice. When we got there today (2003-06-21), she was dog tired.

The old town has some really small alleys.

These flowers grow all over town in the little square pieces of open earth around trees. Very beautiful. But I think nobody planted them there. They just grow.

I also had the fire brigade entering the neighbouring building – but it was a false alarm. I suspect an unsuspecting neighbour called them when he saw all the smoke from one of the windows where the Sikhs (at least they look like Sikhs to me) light their incense. Calling them for no reason costs CHF 1500. Ouch!
