This weekend, we watched the annual désalpe in St-Cergue, Switzerlad, where the cows are decorated with giant bells and fancy flowers, and led down from their summer grazing in the Jura to warmer fields and barns below. We remembered to wear rubber boots since the procession passes through narrow roads lined with excited spectators...close enough to get a good whack from a cow tail (that left a bit of a smudge).
We're pretty excited for the parade of cows, dogs, and alphorns, before the final bell ringers gong through the street marking the end.
Then it's time for treats and enjoying a beautiful fall afternoon before making our way back.
Goodies for everyone.
