Dragon Dim Sum

Celebrating the Chinese New Year!!


Don't speak chinese?? Just pick and point to the dim sum dishes that servers push around on carts. As far as I can tell, everything looks and tastes delicious anyway.



And there is only one item on the menu with "Fabulous" on the name:

And if you're going to San Francisco...

Be sure to wear some hair in your flowers.


And sitting on the left side of the plane sure won't hurt either.

Schloss Laufen am Rheinfall

Schloss Laufen looking down from its majestic position atop the cliffs.


Europe's largest waterfall, 150 m wide, 23 m high and with an average water flow of 250 m³/s in the winter and 700 m³/s in the summer. Pretty pathetic when compared to Niagara Falls but quite beautiful nonetheless.


Rheinfall seen from one of the castle's colorful windows.

Schaffhausen

Stately guildhalls, ornate frescos and oriel bay windows in this lovely chocolate-box
quaint medieval town on the Rhine river.


And the old circular fortress of Munot.


When it started snowing in Winterthur


"Branca, como as neves da Primavera que acabam de cair,
quando bate a luz da primeira hora da manhã ou da última hora do dia."

Legend Says

"...that for several nights, an old man saw a great light shining on the Cape Espichel.
In a dream, the Virgin Mary explained him that the light was a representation of her image.



"When he got there, he saw Our Lady on the back of a mule climbing the cliff,
leaving its footprints marked on the rock."



Sure the footprints are in fact dinosaur tracks, but they built an entire sanctuary
because of it so who cares??
