A very Swiss update

Went hiking again today. The ski resort where my hike ended was having an Alpine music festival. The last gondola down (a big car, with a capacity of 45 people) contained more yodelers than non-yodelers. The ride lasted six minutes, and the Chur Yodeling Club gave us an impromptu concert. You haven't really heard yodeling until you've heard it in a small enclosed space that is falling down a mountain, with the main soloist's mouth 10cm from your ear. (Actually, it's a much more pleasant and diverse musical genre than most people realize.)

Also, I found out where blueberry yoghurt comes from: I saw *a lot* of cows munching on the flora in a blueberry field.
