Our European Adventure 2018

In Switzerland, farms and cows are everywhere, on hills, in valleys, on steep mountainsides, even on ski slopes. If you look closely, most pictures in Switzerland have cows in them, although sometimes from a distance they are hard to see. You can see the little farm roads that criss-cross the mountains, and where there is a farm, there are cows. When cows are free-ranging, they wear bells to scare off predators. You can hear cowbells anytime you are outside. Some of those bells are huge! We saw one priced at 1000 Francs (almost the same in Dollars).

We were wondering how the cows are milked when they are far from the barns, and we finally saw a milking set-up for field use. In the summer, most of the milk is made into cheese. We are really enjoying the different kinds of cheese, and brought home some pre-made fondue to enjoy in our studio. Mmm!Meer informatie
