Our Neighborhood


This graffiti is one of hundreds at Fabrik, a former factory that anarchists took over in the 1980s. They applied for -- and received -- arts funding. The "canvases" can change daily.







Grapes from the bio-farm up the street grace our meals these days. Luke said it best, "And these grapes have never been in a car." Talk about a low carbon imprint!










The Zurich harbor on a sunny autumn day.











One of our favorites hikes is on the ridge to our west.  To the south of this spot are the Alps and to the west a village with red roofs and white walls. 


 


Just minutes from home we build a campfire and enjoy a brotwurst roast.  Once each month the kindergarten class treks into the woods (rain or shine), makes a fire, and cooks a lunch. On this Saturday we are honing Luke's campfire skills.
