Folklore in Switzerland

Today was our first day in Lucerne, Switzerland. We arrived by train around noon and were completely amazed. Lucerne looks like something you would see on a postcard. It is a beautiful place and seems to be moving at a slower pace than Paris or London…which we are excited about. We plan to just relax and enjoy the scenery.

We just got back from a dinner & show at the Stadtkeller Swiss Folklore Restaurant. We were told fondue is a big deal here, so we ate that for dinner. The show was so much fun. There was a band that played traditional Swiss music and there was lots of yodeling. Brad and I got called up from the crowd to participate with other in a traditional dance. Very interesting! Then, thanks to my husband, I was called up again with many others and we all had to yodel. Well, we tried. The host started us off and we were supposed to finish the next line in the song. Um, it didn’t go well for me, but at least I tried. It was so much fun and is probably something we could not have done anywhere else but here.
