We had another lovely day in Wintertur with our friends. This morning John showed them the article we recently worked on about the Swiss youth activity that involved more than 300 youth here a few weeks ago. Our friends loved seeing their grandchildren in the group.
Here’s a link to the article and videos about this Medieval Festival for these kids:
Then Ernst pulled out a family treasure he wanted to show us. This is his Family Bible that was published in 1691! It’s been in his family for a long long time.
The inside page is inscribed by his ancestor who asked that the Bible always stay in the family. Wow.
After a nice morning, our friends wanted to take us on a hike to a nearby lookout point up on a mountain called Schauenberg. We drove a short way, then started hiking up a mountainside.
Once a lookout tower stood on this hill. Now there are just some remains and foundation stones.
Regina and her twin sister, Gita. They are half Israeli and half Romanian. The word in German for identical twin is “Eineiige,” which means “one egg.” These two are a hoot!
The views from the top were pretty amazing. This land is filled with farms and wooded areas. It’s a beautiful patchwork.
And there are always cows and cowbells accenting the views and sounds.
We took a different path down, straight down. Yikes!
After this outing, it was time to say goodbye to our friends in Wintertur. What a great time we’ve had here!
