After work I joined my good friend Barbara and her 3 great children to go for a swim at the Zurich Lake. There is a secure area for children for swim, like a small island next the lake shore. It was my first swim in the lake of Zurich. The air temperature, 24 degrees, sunshine and blue sky. The water temperature is 20 degrees, so it was really refreshing. I swam out to the next lake pole and back again, the water is crytal clear and not salty as we are use to our beaches back home. No waves, it was calm and I could actually swim with the ducks in that area.
This is a favourite past time of the Zurich people to enjoy their lake and there are many great lake shores to enjoy a swim at the lake.
It was past 6 pm and it was still so still and calm. We all sat down and had a great picknic, then out of a blue a swan came over to our picknic and tried to pick off some food from us. We had to quickly move as the big swan was rather aggresive pleading for food. It was quite adventurous as I never did encounter such an agressive swan. It seems that this swan did not only tried to attack Barbara but also was chasing after other people who were sun basking. Well... it was around 9 pm and the sun is slowing dissapearing behind the mountains and it gave such a sense of serenity and such a sense of How Great the Lord our Creator is. A hymm arise in my heart... how great thy art.

Zurich Lake is so beautiful. Thanks for sharing. This Sunday was a busy day for me. After church- a quick lunch of fried rice, then MLM class, reached home at 6pm, cooked a quick dinner and bed at 9pm.
