Here is our second post, by Sean: Here is a picture of 3 alpine horn players who were entertaining folks at the Saturday farmer's market in Carouge (a small village in Geneva). We bought a lot of local cheese (5 kinds), honey, berries, olives, plums, crepes, pasta, etc. There were many places around the market to sit down for coffee, tea, wine, mohitos, etc. And icecream, of course.
We also had the excellent cultural experience of explaining to the local police that our battery was dead, and we needed a jump, all using creative variations of basic level french vocabulary, and english words with a hopeful french accent.

Blog is great idea. Look forward to following your adventures. Your alpine horn encounter reminded me that my Freshman roommate Pat and her twin sister Pam had an alpine horn duo. They had 'gigs' all over the Bay Area. Guess where Pat's alpine horn was stored? Under our bunk beds in a tiny single in Lagunita. Needless to say there was not much room under there for anything else.
