where others come for vacation ...

b_200_0_7829367_0_0_images_2016_05_IMG_2667.JPGAfter what seemed like an unending grey, wet, cold, snowy Spring, the Sun God has decided to pay us a visit.... Blue Skies, Sunshine, Not a wisp of a Cloud in the Sky...

A Youngster Wrestling (Jungschwingen) contest catches our eye.. What was till yesterday a big grass playground has been transformed overnight into 6 sawdust arenas. The kids grapple each other, trying to get the opponent to bite the dust.... Per regulation, the winner is required to wipe the dust off the loser's shoulder cool

From Cows, Mules, Sheeps, Goats, Ducks to Tin Birds, Ceramic Dolls to Mermaids, Silent Canoes to Loud Tractors.. .. Creatures of all shapes and Sizes are coming out of their dens to bask in the Glorious Sunshine..

And amidst all this.. Tibetan Prayer Flags fluttering gently on a Swiss Gardener's fence take me down memory lane on a trip to Ladakh.. (a magical buddhist ex-kingdom in the state of Jammu & Kashmir -- once known as the Switzerland of India).. 

It sure is a Small World, nicht wahr / gäu (isn't it)??
