Right now, people here are gearing up for the big August 1st celebration this Saturday. What are we celebrating? The day that Switzerland became a country...their own independence day. Almost everyday now, an Alpenhorn is brought out and played near the entrance of old town Liestal....just outside my window.
I took a short video of it:
Whenever I see an alpenhorn, I always think of those old Ricola commercials.
Of course, the real thing is so much better!
