The Chinese Garden in Zurich is a gift from Kunming, its twin city in China, in gratitude for the "technical and scientific aid provided to develop Kunming's drinking water supply and municipal sewage system." (brochure). The garden has several ornately-painted buildings, koi-filled ponds, and numerous stones to represent mountains. 




In the same park are a number of sculptures including this one that Roger and Luke are enjoying. It whirled, clanked, and clinked much to their
 amusement.



Also in the park is a pond with stepping stones. Some of us were more wary than others. All pedestrians negotiated the path successfully.

Is that the Windstar in the second photo? You can't park that thing there!

Luke and I heard strange noises coming from this pond one morning. We discovered frogs--many frogs and the croaks were quite varied. Luke calls it "the day of the frog opera."
