A very Swiss update

[tehta]

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.

Hee, so you've been exposed to Swiss Folk music from very near! *g* I'm not especially fond of yodeling, but I like our folk music a lot.
Where exactly did you hike today? *nosy* I hope you had nice weather - in Zürich it was rather cloudy and much more wind than yesterday!

I was up near Dreibundenstein, above Chur. The weather was OK, but not as nice as before: lots of clouds and fog, so not much of a view.
