Richard Flynn > Einsiedeln Abbey • Einsiedeln Abbey in its current form was completed in 1719. It is attached to Einsiedeln library, which contains 50,000 volumes.
Richard Flynn > Sunset over toy town • Vaduz, a town with a population of about 5,300, bears the dubious honour of being the capital of the Fürstentum (Principality of) Liechtenstein. The town is very pretty, and thrives from a procession of tourists who want to see such an idiosyncratic country. For many, it seems, all they ever see of Liechtenstein is Vaduz. Some of Liechtenstein’s industry includes the manufacture of sausage skins, false teeth, anchors, and power tools. I found no evidence to suggest that all of these are made in the same factory, however.

Richard Flynn > Löwendenkmal • The lion monument commemorates the death of 700 Swiss mercenaries in Paris during the French revolution. Here is the text of the monument: HELVETIORUM FIDEI AC VIRTUTI Die X Augusti II et III Septembris MDCCXCII Haec sunt nomina eorum qui ne sacramenti fidem fallerent [Left column]: Fortissime pugnantes ceciderunt Duces XXVI [Names] Milites circiter DCCLX [Right column]: Solerti amicorum cura cladi superfuerent Duces XVI [Names] Milites circiter CCCL [Bottom]: Huius rei gestae cives aere collato perrenne monumentum posuere. Translated: TO THE LOYALTY AND BRAVERY OF THE SWISS On 10th August and 2nd & 3rd September 1792 Here are the names of those who, so as not to break their oath of loyalty: [Left column]: …Died while fighting bravely 26 Officers [Names] About 760 soldiers. [Right column]: …Survived the battle because of the care and attention of their friends: 16 Officers [Names] About 350 soldiers [Bottom]: The citizens [of Lucerne] have put up this monument as an everlasting commemoration of this event. The Rough Guide has this to say on the location: ‘This would be a movingly tranquil spot, with its foliage and gently rippling pool in front, were it not for the fact that it’s the single most touristed place in the entire city.’ Sure enough, when i was there, there were several large Japanese tour-groups having their photos taken in front of the monument.
