Gruyères

We ventured out to the little town of Gruyères, Switzerland this past weekend. It’s a 45 minute drive from Morges. Unfortunately, I forgot to turn the digital camera off the last time I used it, so there are no pictures to show of the cobblestone roads and chateau at the top of the hill. You’ll have to visualize it in your head. (Or here is a Wikipedia link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gruyères). We enjoyed a lunch of fondue, meats, local cheeses and wine. The town is known for their meringue and Gruyère cream. It was so good! The meringue tasted just like Grandma Thoma’s homemade schaum tortes. Then we saw how they make Gruyère cheese at a local factory. It was a nice, little tour and it was in English! Maybe I should start a cheese log if Matt’s going to keep up these beer reports.
