I'll second that. Very, very adorable

I'm wondering though about that blending of cultures, did you by any chance hear any yodelers singing along with a bagpiper? Now THAT is a blend of cultures I'd like to hear....once

Sounded great !

Best, ...and thank you all for your gentle comments !

Great locale and photos! I really liked the combination of traditional Swiss dress (dirndl's?) and kilts.

I understand the photos of "homemade" kilts. I was at some local Games a week ago, and saw some teens in homemade "kilts." When I pointed out things like the apron opening to the right for a boy and pleats to the BACK, I got a sassy response.
