I am sorry to learn that not everyone in Switzerland eats chocolate all the time. I would have moved there for that.

I live in the suburbs, but within 2 miles of my home I can see a couple different herds of cattle and some of the most gorgeous Arabian horses anywhere! (Kellogg Arabians) In fact, I greet the horses almost every day, on my way to work. It isn't all smog & traffic here.
Once, I visited some friends in Idaho & was there for my friend's high school graduation. They had recently sold some property, and their Mom bought a new Cadillac for herself. Many of their relatives, when they saw it, figured it must be mine, since I was from CA!!! (Oh, did I mention I was only 18 at the time?)
