We headed to my friend Louis' house on Friday. He lives in Ettenhausen and it is a really tiny village without a train station so he had to pick us up form Aadorf and drive us the rest of the way. His wife (Mai) and son (Dany) were both home and Mai had made us a huge amount of Thai food for dinner. It was really good and then we walked around Ettenhausen. It seemed that everyone in this town was somehow related to Louis, usually his cousin, and as we wandered over the hills listening to cow bells we soon met a couple. On Saturday Louis took us sightseeing. We went to Stein am Rhein which is a small town on the rhein. What makes this town interesting is that all the facades on the buildings are painted with stories about what is in them. We the went to Rheinfall which is this waterfall withe a rock island in the middle which you can catch a boat to and walk to the top of. Yes, it was on the amazing race but only by fluke. That night we went to the town fest because the rifle team had just got back from a large tournament and everyone in town was invited to a big party with sausages and beer in the school hall. On Sunday we went to Liechtenstein and Appenzeller. We saw cheese being made and went to a different country for ice cream. It was really nice to go to the country for a bit. That night we had a special salad made out of a vegetable I had never seen before (and I worked at a vege shop). On Monday we left so craig could do his bungee :(
