This is about the only place that we remembered to
get our picture taken beside a "Welcome to Switzerland" sign.
We were on our four countries in one day putt on the border
of Liechtenstein and Switzerland.

In the background is the Lake of Zurich. The
ferris wheel was erected I believe to be part of the celebration for the
1st of Augush festivities. It's the largest ferris wheel in Europe.
The 1st of August is to the Swiss what the 4th of July is to us in the
United States.

If there is one thing that is almost a dead giveaway
that you are in Switzerland, it's the cows. They're everywhere, I
told Teri that I was going to miss the smell of cowshit in the morning!!
Most of the cows we saw were what we started calling "Chocolate
Cows", but near Gruyere we spotted these very friendly "Dalmation Cows"

We were visiting Grindelwald on our 3 day trip to
the Alps and had just come down from the summit of Jungfraujoch and found
this gentleman and his "Alp Horn".
From what we understand it is very difficult to play one
of these things but the sound that comes from the horn can't be duplicated
by any other instrument.
