17-October was sponsored by the letter "C".  The day began with a trip to Le Gruyère and a tour of their cheese factory.  While I have no pictures it was very impressive to watch the cheese-makers do their work and to see and hear all about the process that goes into making this world-renowned treat.

Next stop was The Castle of Gruyères.  

 For those cold rainy days, this is a medieval seat warmer : ) 

Had to take a pic of this, it is a mermaid thing with antlers... no clue whatsoever!

The original swiss army cannon!!!

We took a side trip to Murten on the way home.  Murten boasts the only intact town wall in Switzerland that you can walk around. 

Lovely fall colors:
