Cheese! Far more than just the generic Swiss.
It's my favorite. Blasphemy!
@steve-miller , Couldn't see a picture.
Anticipating knowing place!
@Daniel Sorry, not really disparaging Swiss cheese. It’s one of my favorites too.
I was in Lugano, Switzerland to make a piano TV show around 2012, and there was a memorable cheese (and bread) shop a short walk from the hotel. What I meant was that there’s a great variety that we don’t see here, very tasty. And yet broadly related to the Swiss cheese we get here, but earthier and with varying intensity and terroir. Delectable!

@realplayer Oh, no worries.
My palate has never been accused of being sophisticated.
I'm glad your career brought you to Lugano, and that you enjoyed the cheese!

Staying 4 nights in Zurich. Newer Hyatt - modern to the point of austerity. Suits me fine. Includes breakfast. Everything we need and nothing we don’t.
Breakfast included. They invented Meusli here and I hope I find it on the chow line.
So far things in Switzerland impress me. Similar to Germany - clean, well engineered,
and efficient. Maybe even more so.
Everything works! -
TIL that Zürich is the most expensive city in the world - and I believe it! The price of everything is - YIKES!

Our first authentic Swiss meal. “Raclette” which is both the name of the cheese and how they prepare it (poured over bread and/or potatoes, sausage and/or bacon on the side) There is nothing here not to like.

Oh man, that raclette looks fabulous. I'm so envious!!

Took a cable car to the top of a mountain overlooking Lake Zurich.
Spectacular!

I’ve heard the road to hell changes planes in Atlanta. We’re changing planes in Atlanta.
Coincidence?

That was true in the 90's and early 2000's. Not so much now. It's well laid out and easy to get around from concourse to concourse. O'Hare is my most hated now, with Charlotte and Miami coming in close seconds.

You may want to look into this after this trip.

OTOH, maybe you should just eat your cheese...and ice cream....
