Say Cheese

It rained today, which meant that we couldn't go hiking like we planned. But have no fear, Jenny and I purchased swiss rail passes before we left, so we all decided to take the train somewhere fun. WE ended up taking the train to Gruyeres, which is a small German town in the alps. Gruyeres is famous for two things, cheese and the chateau. We experienced both. We got to visit a cheese factory and watch cheese mold. Its really more exciting than you think. The cheese factory is mechanized so you see this robot flip huge rows of cheese around. After sampling 6month old, 8 month old, and 10 month cheese (included in the museum price), we hiked half a mile to a chateau in a perfectly preserved medieval village. We saw amazing veiws of the alps shrouded in clouds and some really cool flowers. I'll include pictures later. Right now, my internet connection is weak so I can't really do much more than post to this blog.

Also, its nearly 11pm and I need to wake up early for the trip to Zermatt. Pray it doesn't rain again so we can actually see the Matterhorn.
