| At the Fete de Geneve |   Eric's coworker Markus | Weekend trip to Gruyere - this is the path up to the town |   Some cafes in the town used old boards for draining cheese wheels as tables | These depressions were to validate grain measures |   We had our picnic at the Gruyere castle |     This fireplace was the size of a medium sized bedroom | Medieval graffiti |   An old hand-powered wheelchair |   At the demonstration factory that produced Gruyere cheese | Eric about to eat a horsemeat steak. I tasted it. What can I say? Kind of tastes like beef. |   Gruyere castle from the distance | This is at the Cailler chocolate factory close to Gruyere. They had a very wiz-bang automated tour |   The assembly line | This was the "eat as much chocolate as you want" room |   Later on we took a walk through a gorge close to Gruyere |    On the way home we found wild rasberries! | | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
