Local holiday in Zürich today — so no school — due to a ancient Swiss festival (started in 1889) called Knabenschiessen, where teenage boys participate in a target shooting competition. Anyhow, all very odd in a Morris Dancing kinda way. Nowadays the event is also superseded by the massive fairground that accompanies it. At the kids request we took a visit to the Zurich Thermal Baths for their holiday Monday — much more enjoyable.
