The Pumpkin Festival

It had been an exciting time, but that wasn't enough for us. It is Pumpkin Season in Switzerland. Moreover, Sunday was uncharacteristically warm and sunny. Accordingly, we drove to the annual Pumpkin festival in Seegraben. I used the heads-up navigation display in the new BMW. It projects information onto the windscreen so the driver doesn’t have to look down to navigate. Unfortunately, my Maui Jim (double polarized) sunglasses filter out the projection.


We have been to the festival many times, but the day was so spectacular that we could see the Alps and the foliage was beautiful. (Not quite as beautiful as New England, but really pretty.)

We had pumpkin soup and pumpkin cake. Nazy bought a pumpkin, several different kinds of squash, a few kilos of apples, pears and plums, some napkins, and a selection of flowers. (I think she was disappointed to discover that they didn’t have any underwear.)
