TipTopSwiss 122:366

Today was Maifeiertag - May Day and we all had a day off! It not being a Monday was strange as we're used to May Day always being a Monday in England.
And here there were trade union meetings and a march as its Labour Day. According to the Stadtpolizei on Twitter, a policeman was hit on the head with a stone and there were some arrests but it mostly passed without incident.

Here are all the flags hung especially for the day.

mai - May
des drapeaux - some flags
Fête du Travail - Labour Day

Lisibo's 2012 challenge

This blog is my 2012 challenge - post a photograph of the something Swiss, and share a word or two in one of the languages of Switzerland every day for a year.

This follows on from Window on my world 365 my 2011 challenge to photograph the view of / from a window each day, and Trees365 my 2010 challenge to post a photograph of a tree.

And if you want to follow my family's first steps as we settle in Switzerland, you might like to see SwissMiss-Adventures.

My professional blog is called ¡Vámonos! and looks at teaching and learning in the 21st century, with a particular focus on primary language learning, creativity and the use of technology.
