Personal reflections, and lots of photos, from our life in Switzerland (and France)
during our stay, 2007-09, for the LHC Startup at CERN.

Desaples 2008: Mind the Poo

Desalpes starts, as usual, with lovely displays of Swiss pride in mountain villages.

Let's begin with yummy .....
creamy warm milk and
bubbling hot caramel a la crème.


Then the villagers lead the cows down from the mountains,


people and cows in their desaples finery.


And this year, bopping, fluffy sheep too!
Then the party begins!
music, music, music.

Even the bell ringers get to relax.

The vendors display their handmade Desalpes goods,
in the magical, mountain villages all over Switzerland.




And check out this interesting video we took of some boys playing music from another mountainous place, Colorado!
