		<title>Europeans Have No Concept of Wintergreen</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I was in a meeting with a Spanish woman and an American that was visiting Switzerland from the U.S.  As we started the meeting the American pulled out a container of Ice Breakers wintergreen flavored mints.  As my American colleague offered a mint to both of us I exclaimed, &#8220;I love those, and we [...]]]></description>

		<title>My First Alphorn Recording</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So it&#8217;s time to put myself on the map as the best American alphorn player currently living in Switzerland.   I don&#8217;t really know if I&#8217;m the best, but a quick search on Google doesn&#8217;t reveal any others.  So by my logic I definitively am the best American alphorn player living in Switzerland.  My wife always [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hiking in Flims</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This weekend we made a last minute decision to head to Graubunden to see a few sights we had on our list. Most notable we wanted to see the &#8216;Grand Canyon&#8217; of Switzerland.
While the canyon was nice, the combination of the fantastic weather and amazing panoramic views from the mountains above Flims and Laxx made [...]]]></description>

		<title>Taking the Tractor Home From Alphorn Practice</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Monday nights are Alphorn night for me.  The last couple of weeks I have been meeting up with a Swiss Farmer and a Guy that runs a Coffee Business to hang out and make some noise with our alphorns in a parking garage.  Thinking about it, it is really seems like something total odd, almost [...]]]></description>

		<title>Globish, Hand Shoes and Other Compound Words</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When learning German one of the fun things you come across are strange sounding compound words.  One of my favorites that has graced the pages of my blog before is Handshuhe  which translates directly to Hand Shoe (a.k.a.  Glove).
The other day I was speaking English, as I often do and came across an English [...]]]></description>

		<title>Aletsch Glacier Between Chazlecher &amp; Silbersand</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The weather has not been so great today so I spent some time going through photos from our Aletsch Glacier trip.  There are still plenty to go through.
During one of the longer hikes we made it down close to the glacier itself.  Somewhere on the trail between Chazlecher and Silbersand we spotted a small pond [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hornussen in Fraunfeld</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last weekend we made a trip to the Eidgenössisches Schwing- und Älperfest with the main intent of taking in some Hornussen.  From the looks of it the sport is some sort of combination of golf and baseball without the base running.
In a nutshell a guy hits what looks like a black golf ball with a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Frauenfeld Schwing- und Alperfest</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This weekend marks the Frauenfeld Schwingfest. The event takes place every three years with the intent to crown the National Schwingen king.  I heard that this  year the Swiss Army has erected temporary seating for 60,000 spectators.   The popularity of the event means that tickets are already sold out.
Surrounding the Schwigen grounds a Alperfest will [...]]]></description>

		<title>How To Make Ice Cubes In Switzerland</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The trouble with Switzerland.  The trouble with Switzerland for an American is ice cubes.  This is an epic party conversation starter at expat parties and social events.  For the American pallet anything less than ice cold Coke, or Gin &#38; Tonics without a good pile of &#8216;rocks&#8217; is just not going to cut it.
Ice is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Aletsch Glacier Added To the Travel Destinations Maps</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Luckily the one day I headed to the top of Bettmerhorn with my panoramic photography gear during our vacation the weather cooperated.  I took this image along a hiking trail not too far from the Bettmerhorn lift station.  In this photograph you are seeing about 7 miles of the glacier.
This was such a beautiful view [...]]]></description>
