Chocolate in Switzerland


Walking to Switzerland is an easy thing to do when you are already standing at the Rhine River and there happens to be a bridge. This bridge is wooden, covered, and more than 600 years old. That is, a bridge at that location is. This bridge has been destroyed by fire many times. It's stone legs have crumbled again and again. Oh, yeah, there were a couple of wars and again it was rebuilt. Pretty impressive in it's length as it's the longest covered bridge in Europe. Motor traffic is no longer permitted on it, just bikes and walkers.
So then we went to this really great super market, another item on the must-do list. (Actually we walked back, got in the car and drove over a cement bridge to the store in Switzerland.) Now we know why outdoor, twice weekly, vegetable markets are not as important as they once were. This place had a wonderful produce section; and spirit section; and fresh meat section. And lots of chocolate, needless to say. Yum, yum!
