Last Sept 22, a few staff members drove to the beautiful Swiss village of Alpazug to ....yes....watch the cows come home! This is a traditional celebration as each of the families parades its prize cows down from the hills through the main street of the town, just as generations have done at the end of the summer grazing season for hundreds of years. Cows are adorned with greenery on their heads, and massive, loud (but moosical) cow bells. To complete the ambience, there are lots of other forms of music, including a traditional alpine horn trio, and an "oldtimers" trio. Then there's the food for sale everywhere.....the best of the wurst, if you know what I mean!
My favourite image though had to be the little girl, no more than three, carrying the biggest stick she could....and boy, could she whack those cows!
