Things I love about Switzerland...

- double cream from Gruyère, fondue, raclette, chocolate

- the cleanliness of the streets, except in Bern in winter where everyone hawks loogies all over the place

- the four seasons and various types of weather (winter is still a bit too long here in CH, but it makes me appreciate spring more than I ever have in my entire life. I'm from southern California where there's basically only one type of weather. I sometimes miss the earthquakes.)

- the cows! Oh, the beautiful cows! I wish I could give up beef. Cows have the most beautiful eyes and lovely long eyelashes. Sometimes they have a crop of silly-looking hair mounted to their heads. My husband and I often say, "hey, check out that bad wig/toupé"

- church bells and train whistles (don't remember having those in CA)

- listening to children speak French

- roast beef on baguette

- meals which last hours, everyone sitting around the table and enjoying each other

- learning to appreciate cheese and wine


loads of other stuff, too!
