Welcome to Gruyeres... the land of peaceful rolling pastures, enchanting Castles and Happy Cows :)
Gruyeres Castle surrounded by happy Cows... yes look closely that is not a tree but a bush of flowers strapped to the cows head.
After finishing the last of three final papers and suffering from this disturbing feeling that my laptop has been surgically attached to me, I decided that I needed to head out of town for a day. What do you think of when your brain feels like mush and every thought you have seems to spill our of your head as though it is full of holes?… that’s right Swiss CHEESE! Gruyeres to be exact, the home of the famous Gruyere cheese, and an enchanting castle on a hill surrounded by pastures full of cows with giant bells around their necks and flowers on their heads. All this only two hours away by train… isn’t Switzerland lovely!
I love train rides. All week long my thoughts are scattered going from thing to thing in rapid succession, taking detours or simply hitting dead ends. But there is something about a train ride, with the scenery whipping by, that allows me to take one thought and to follow it wherever it goes, all the way to its end as if it were sharing the same iron rails as the train.
