Here are some pictures of the things we did that I mentioned in the last post:

I love the toilet buttons so much! 

Swiss chocolate

Mustard and Mayo in tubes, so weird...

Everyone has tiny ridges.. Or maybe Americans just have giant ones. Wow. Explains a lot.

View from the Rigi

Cow poop on the sidewalk of a popular tourist destination. You would never see that in the US.

Market Stands

Swiss Cheese

MEAT

Homemade swiss raviolis and pastas

Olives and peppers

EVERYTHING IN TUBES.. WHAT?!

So on Wednesday we left Karin's and went to the mountains. We went to the Alps with some friends from Madison who also happen to be in Switzerland right now. In their 20s my dad and my uncle Peter worked at an alpine cheese.. you can't say factory, gives the wrong impression... Well a alpine cheese operation. Peter would milk the 27 cows, by hand I think, and dad would make the cheese in a copper pot over a fire. They made between three and five wheels a day. Friends of my dad's still work this way in the summers and we stayed with them for two days. One of the most incredible experiences I have ever had.
