On the final Friday I was there it was Swiss National Day. We had fondue for dinner.
Then we headed up the mountain to a huge bonfire in celebration of the holiday. This was the view as we walked up to the bonfire. A bit of rain was falling and a beautiful rainbow draped the sky.
When we got to the town hall we followed a brass band to the bonfire.
There were two boys that were carrying a huge cake. It is a town tradition.
This is the bonfire. It was about 8 feet tall.
Every so often a cloud would drift by the mountain and we would be surrounded by the cloud. It looked like smoke, but it was really cool and moist. It was very cool!
This was a wonderful experience of the holidays in another country. Later than night we went back to the town hall and hung out with the very drunk villagers. They were dancing and singing and eating. Just having a great time!
