I'm sorry I have no pictures yet. It has been raining and foggy since we arrived on Monday, so we have used this time to get our groceries stocked up and plan future trips in Switzerland.
A couple of funny things I'd like to share: The best baguette I have found in Switzerland (closest to a true, authentic French baguette) is from a totally Swiss company called Migros. They have department stores (with grocery store included) in all the big cities, plus stand alone food stores everywhere. They have the best baguettes!
The dilemma: Our apartment is right above a bakery. Every morning at 4am the bread is in the ovens and the aroma wafts up through our open window. Wakes me up almost every time. Now this bakery sells baguettes too, but don't compare to those of Migros. My dilemma is that I feel like I have to sneak my Migros baguette into the house when I get off the bus - which is right outside the door to the bakery! I don't want the baker to feel bad!
The next little quirky thing about a small country like Switzerland: I love to watch the Ticino TV game shows. Here, because there just isn't a population large enough to continually bring in new contestants, the contestants instead play for the entire week - even if they keep losing!
Tomorrow morning - it's off to the Italian market in Ponte Tresa, Italy. :-)
