Are we missing something?
So we were reading this weekend's IHT and were interested in this blurb about winter folklore festivals in Switzerland because it said that "One of the oldest traditions in Europe, pre-dating the Middle Ages, takes place Jan. 13 to 27 in the northern city of Basel."
Huh?
I mean, Fasnacht is of course huge here, but it's not until the end of February. There's also a festival involving something called a Vogel Gryff, but I thought that was more or less a one-day affair. So is there some huge tradition we've been missing out on? If so, I hate it when that happens.
(In the same blurb, we were pleased to see that there will be a flood barrier in Venice since that's where we were supposed to fly today but are putting off until Christmas instead--although I suppose it might be a bit unrealistic to think that a multi-billion Euro barrier will be built in the next month-and-a-half...)
