swissmiss family is spending july on the swiss country side. We are waking up to cowbells. I kid you not. We are so amazed by our audio surroundings that G and I spent a good portion of the morning not only staring at our view (above) but also recording the cowbell-moo-sound (thank you iPhone). Here, please enjoy, our 24/7 soundtrack to our vacation! Yay Switzerland! And pardon my slower pace in posting in the coming 3 weeks.




Glad to learn that somewhere, there is still grass. Like, real one :)

Can’t wait for my weekend in “Heidiland” beginning of August! Walking by a herd of cows makes you wonder if they are deaf already – its unbelievably loud…

In Toronto the street-cars still have bells, why private cars have horns is bizarre. Bicycles used to have bells instead of whistles.
Sounds and psychology ….

ich selber lasse das g’lüüt gerne laufen, um meine drei buben in den schlummer zu bringen – es ist erstaunlich, welch beruhigende wirkung das geläut haben kann.

After living just north of Basel, Switzerland for the past 24 years my wife and I are moving back to America. This is a post I will revisit when I got homesick for Switzerland and Germany. Thank you so much for posting it.

Hahaha, the exact opposite applies to me at moment (as you know already). See you later in Brooklyn…

I love the photos and the sound of cow bells is just fantastic. How I miss ‘beautiful’ Switzerland. I so hope to go back again some day.
Jul 12th, 2010 / 10:31 pm
Nice bells…love photos!

I’m about to spend a week in Switzerland this August. I had to add it to my Europe plans since you always post pictures like this of your summer Switzerland visits. I couldn’t resist the open countryside and beautiful views!

I don’t get it. Did those cows remove their styrofoam and saranwrap packaging for the day?
