You might have heard about the 'EURO 2008' (European Soccer Championship) that currently takes place in Switzerland?!
Well, the event made the Swiss increasing the number of flags per household from 1 to at least 10. If one thought that the national symbol is quite common here in everyday life (compared to other countries) - this is nothing compared to times when the countries hosts a sports event of that category. WOW, it´s just red and white everywhere!!!!

However, since we are not soccer-maniacs we rather spend our free time to discover the surroundings here. Instead of going down to the lake we walked a bit up the (tiny) hills at the back of Wädenswil.
Although we are still waiting the summer to arrive! Whereas the sun was all over Germany during the entire past 4 weeks the opposite was the case down here...

Here some impressions from the back of Wädenswil, bit more towards the mountains (but still ´hills´ around here)


There are still plenty of small farms, having some cattle, sheep and some fruit trees and doing direct selling to those who pass by. Definitely something I did not expect in this high-price-country. But it seems to be a successful mode, selling organic food at high prices to townsfolk that barely know the smell of fresh air.



Hey, and they had some funny sheep that actually looked like teddy bears for Dima :-)



In Switzerland you can have Müsli not only for breakfast, you can also take a bus and go there, even from Wädenswil:



Oh, did I mention that Dima is well?
She (or better her mum) was impressed by the first visit they made a the peadiatrist. The examination started at the exact time when they had the appointment (not 1.5 hours later, as usual back in Germany) took full 45 minutes (not 5 min) and at the end she really had the feeling that they care. Just great!
