We woke up early again today, had another great breakfast (Eliane went out each morning to be sure we had fresh rolls and bread on the breakfast table) and then we were on our way for another eventful day. Today Seraina's grandparents joined us on our journey...... they did not speak English, but we all had a great time together a
s we were all able to smile, laugh and somehow exchange and share our thoughts. The first major event of the day was a journey to Schwagalp for a a short hike at the base of Mount Santis. Before our walk in the area we saw how cheese was made......an interesting process. Our walk was quite amusing, as we shared the paths with cows and had to be sure not to step in their “pies”. After taking many photos, we left and headed down the mountain, as several of the cows also shared the roadway. Our next stop was a short visit nea
r the town of Jakobsbad to see a rather small but interesting amusement park. Again, a lot of smiles and laughts with the Giger family. Continuing on our journey, the next stop was the small quaint village of Appenzell, where we had lunch and walked around the picturesque village and browsed in many of the traditional tourist type shops. At this point in the day, everyone was rather tired so we headed back to Gossau for some relaxation. We had another fine dinner with the entire family and had to face the reality that we were leaving our new friends the next morning. Before
that reality set in, we had some Turkish coffee, dessert and of course some more good conversation and laughs before going to bed for the night.
