On Saturday we took a day trip to Gruyeres, the cheese town. Cherry, the wise audio guide cow, guided us on a tour of the cheese factory where we got to taste different ages of the Gruyeres cheese. I generally don’t love museums, but when samples and a friendly cow are involved, I am in.

| The Swiss eat almost 60% of the total Gruyere cheese produced. This has to be an incredible statistic per capita. My kind of country. |
The town of Gruyeres is on top of a hill, so we hiked up and decided that we had definitely burned all of the calories that we would later consume at our fondue lunch. There is a medieval castle at the top as well. Then we fondued.
For dessert we tried to take the chocolate factory tour, but the wait was extra long, so we just hit the gift shop and then ate the chocolate on the train home. I liked our group’s focus on the important things.
Sunday we had a game tournament day and played Sequence, Canasta, and Farkle. It was a wonderful day.
