May 1st is a holiday and it was also Ascension Day, which is a holiday, but since they fell on the same day, we only got one day. It was a pleasant day, so I’m not complaining. Stephan organized a hike to the castle Dorneck where we met up with a few more folks from church and enjoyed a barbeque before the rain hit. It was lovely to go hiking again and we caught a glimpse of Swiss culture to boot. Traditionally, the men of the town march around the local borders and fire guns to symbolize their readiness to defend their land. Hopefully the video is small enough to upload so you can enjoy it.
