In the Mountains

Visiting Maria

After a sweltering week, we went to a higher elevation, slightly more agreeable in temperatures. We had church and dinner, then went for a walk in scenery. 



Somebody brought dinner, made the day before 


In the mountain forest


Complete with finger

For the views




Local fauna
All summer cattle, calves, swine, and goats graze up here to their hearts content.
They are brought down in the fall in a flowery and costumed grand march.


The tourists get the local brew: apple


An old-timer car meet-up was just dispersing.








That building is a Käserei (cheese making), so we went to see it.
No more huge copper pots over an open fire in a little log house. 


Choices


And more ripening


With things for the visitors 


Then the walk back, picking wild strawberries. The wild blueberries in the moorlands are just starting to ripen.





Welcome shade


And back to Maria’s chalet for dessert: apricot and strawberry crumble with whipped cream and currents.



So started the week.
