From there we walked around more of the general area. We saw a pair of white swans with 2 cygnets, half grown with gray fuzzy feathers. We also saw the circle bridge mentioned earlier. It consists of 5 circles, each with a tall pole (mast) and cables from the top down to the edges of the circle. Unfortunately, it was under construction/repair, and we were not able to walk on it or get a good shot of it. Two days ago, it was open when we passed through, but today it was not clear how it opens and closes. I think 2 of the 5 circles swing open. Weird bridge.We decided to walk back into town. Near the City Hall there was a soccer tournament of sorts—2 small courts(about the size of tennis courts) set up on the (paved!) City Hall plaza. I think it was a tournament for charity (homeless?). Two teams of 4 played for about a 10 minute game on each court. They had (temporary) walls (about 4 feet high) and small goals, like indoor soccer. It was very entertaining. The players were obviously amateurs, but it was a very physical game.
