More about the cows

We've just learned that an exciting Swiss event will take place on Saturday, June 25. We've been waiting for months to learn the date of it, and today it was announced. Kirk wrote a post about the Alpaufzug at Engstligenalp last year, and even included a link to a little video you can watch explaining what it's all about. My understanding of it is that it's a festival in a town in the Swiss Alps where the celebrate the day the cows walk up the mountain to graze for the summer. According to their website, more than 400 cows will be walking up the mountain. I seem to remember from the video we watched last year that the cows are even decorated for the special event. Can you imagine? I hope we can make it. This is something I just have to see.
