Cheese Festival

Up in the mountains, we were fortunate to get to enjoy the annual Cheese Festival. We attended this same festival with Marv and Joyce 2 years ago, in the fog. It was great to experience it in the sunshine this time! It was such a gorgeous day, that we even got a little sun on our cheeks. I had brought along hats for everyone thinking they would help keep our heads warm - instead they helped keep the sun out of our eyes!

Jer and Silas at the Cheese Festival. I can't remember the actual name now, but Jer tried this cheese that is melted and then put on bread. He had tried it 2 years ago as well. He said that he enjoyed it much more this time. I think our tastes have changed over the 3 years we've lived in Germany. We are use to the authentic, local foods here now, and actually like them!

During the festival there is live music and dancing. One of the things we enjoyed most was listening to the Alpine horns. They performed on the stage, and then a little bit later in the meadow. I love the second shot with the old men in the background. They sat by their own little table, off in the meadow, just enjoying the day. Oh, to sit around and enjoy life like that with friends! I'm sure wondering what they are thinking, or talking about....maybe reminising about days gone by when they were little chaps running through the meadows of Switzerland!
