Traditional Swiss Flag Throwing
Today is the Swiss National Holiday. With the First of August celebration comes our annual First of August Party. My wife and I have been cleaning all day to get the apartment and balcony in shape for the big party.
As usually the fireworks still start across the street over the castle at 10:00 pm. Every year we add one new element to the party. This will be the 5th year we have had the party. Last year we invited all of our guests to bring a food or drink that was representative of their home culture. That turned out to be a really good way to get people taking and trying different things.
This year in addition to the cultural pot luck I of course will be playing a short Alphorn piece or two. I’m looking forward to it. Now, just to get in some rest before the guests arrive.
