~i totally ♥ suisse~

April 25th, 2009

On Saturday we took an adventure by train to Aarberger, to the annual brocante (flea market). This is part of my Explore Your Own Country initiative, prompted by a general lack of traveling elsewhere. Next up is a journey to hike the Creux du Van.

Most of the pictures below are from the train or at the station. I took Amtrak for years when I taught in Philly and Washington.This ain’t no Amtrak. Dig the cows, the flowers, the fields. We saw horses, baby sheep and burros too.

The stage-settish Aarberger is in German-speaking Switzerland, hence “toiletten”. The toy train is steam-powered, to amuse the kids in a rather Swiss way.

My dandy husband found all manner of gentlemanly acutriments, and I, the usual postcards of knowing, sexy ladies long dead. We scored free his and hers vintage walking sticks.
Today I totally ♥ Suisse.
