"All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt." - Charles Schultz

On Saturday we went to the morning market to get some lunch and dinner makings (fresh ravioli... mmm... ). We then accidentally played Combo Buster (a card game / now a drinking game) until our fondue dinner reservations that night. We went to a totally cheesy Swiss restaurant downtown complete with real live yodlers. Tarrah was particularly impressed with the cheesy pickels.








After a beer / wine / cheese hangover (the best kind), we went to the Swiss countryside town of Gruyeres. This town is known for its chocolate and cheese (aka heaven). We did the chocolate tour first and got our money's worth out of the free samples at the end. There is something so satisfying about making yourself sick. It's feels so good and so bad at the same time.

We walked over to the cheese / castle part of town which involved climbing two hills. I'm pretty sure I burned off at least the piece of chocolate I'm holding above.
We made it up to the medieval town at the top of the hill and stopped at the castle for some views. I wasn't lying that we climbed up a hill. 
 




 We enjoyed our ravolis that night and dozed off to a Husky win. The whole world was smiling.
