about us ...
Big news 2010s: we both are retiring from work as of May 2010!
this allows us to travel a lot more in the areas of Europe where we have not been yet ('because you can do that
once you have retired ...' )
First aim will be the 175 anniversary of the German railroads in 2010 and the many celebrations around this, we will therefore be in Saxony all spring for the narrow gauge events..

We that is the two of us, Ruth and me, live in Stäfa, Switzerland, Europe, together with our two cats, Simba and Luki. We share our appartment with the two cats, who in turn leave our place in a mess. Simbas speciality is to turn up here with a completely unhurt mouse, and let it loose in our living room, to catch and kill it sometime later whih can be days.. This is not really Ruth's favourite, but happens every other week ... The pictures of us on the left here were taken on our trip to Cuba in spring 2002.

Stäfa is is a small town located on the north side of the lake of Zürich, about 12 miles east, along the
lake Zurich, and also along the railway line from Zürich to Rapperswil. It is a very nice place to live,
especially during spring , summer and autumns seasons. The picture to the right shows Stäfa train station,
coming from Zürich (the station itself is nothing worth remembering though).
The following pictures show some of the
neighbourhood around us. The lake of Zürich makes a rather mild climate so that wine grows in many vineyards
along the northern lakeside.
Ruth is working in the human
resources department of a small hospital nearby.
