After our trip to the chocolate factory on Friday, we took a couple regional trains over to Gruyères, where they make Gruyères cheese! It was such a beautiful journey–green fields with cows, beautiful views of the Alps in every direction, small towns that made you feel like you were seeing the authentic Swiss countryside, and a charming (sortof touristy) medieval hill town at the end. Right at the station, we peeked inside the factory to see a robot salting and rotating the cheeses. It was awesome. We got there just 5 minutes too late to tour the castle, but we walked around the outside, met up with some other Pepperdine folks who had been there all afternoon, and had a scrumptious dinner of Reclette on a terrace with a breathtaking view.
You keep giving me more reasons to want to move to Switzerland. I keep telling my mom I would love to move there when I get rich, but she doesn’t like the idea.
I love these pictures! The one with the house behind you Em with the cows in the pasture brings back memories of the homes in the country. Thanks for sharing!!
