Swiss Day arrived with lots of fan fair and fireworks! It turns out that the Swiss LOVE FIREWORKS! We heard the BOOMS and BANGS for the entire weekend. It really did sound like the Germans were invading. We laughed that the Swiss have War LUST since they have not been in war since like the 1500s. Poor Sullivan was terrified. We thought he might have a heart attack… however, he pulled through.
We were able to watch the fireworks on our surrounding mountains from our balcony. It was romantic and wonderful!
On Sunday, August 1st Joel, Ross and I put on our Swiss T-shirts and headed into town. We were hoping to see parades and bands and to eat fair food. It turns out that is how America celebrates its independence. The Swiss just blow stuff up. We walked around all decked out in our Swiss garb, and we were rare birds indeed! We might have been a little overdressed, but you can’t fault us for enthusiasm. In fact, still have our American and Swiss flags hanging on our balcony.
I will just say that Joel dressed in his Swiss Flag Shirt got lots of attention. We were stopped on the road so that people could take his picture. He really is that cute!
Happy Swiss Day! God Bless America!
