"Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade wind in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." --Mark Twain

From Cheese to Chocolate

August 23, 2010

Hi all, well the rain got me again, but everything here is beautifully green, wonder why?
I was going to hike from cheese factory to chocolate factory, but rain made me take the trains instead. Note the tasting room in the chocolate factory..like a kid in a candy shop, and all free..I pigged out on chocolate. :)

The town of Gruyeres nearby is a beautiful city, topped off with a medieval castle.
Met Tom from Seattle, fellow senior hiker and solo traveller. We are both doing the "youth" hostel circuit.
Tomorrow it's on to northern Switz, more French-Swiss country. It,s been fun surviving in 3 languages here.
