Knives, Chocolate and another Mountain


Today we hung around the home base. We got up a little later and got out of the house around 10. Bob wanted to head to the Swiss Army store again and i wanted to snap some shots of the town it was in. This time when Jennie offered us a ride we decided to accept.
We got some photos. There was a restaurant called "Rat Keller" which I thought was funny. Then we went and got some knives. We were looking at some sale knives and trying to figure out their purpose because they looked so strange. There was a man next to us as we looked at these knives and as I was deciding if I wanted it, this man was ready to snatch it out of Jennie's hand. We had to move away to save the knife for ourselves. I ended up getting it and we were lucky that Jennie got out of this guy's way. He ended up getting all the other knives in the sale pile!
Jennie then took us to this fabulous chocolate shop. This place makes most of the chocolate used by the candy companies. We got to try many different version! And of course we bought some!
Next we went to see the city of Zug. This is the city closest to David and Jennie's and where David works. I thought the city was very cool. This town isn't in the 3 guide books we have and I think it is much nicer because the tourist aren't here. We got some nice photos and caught lunch with David at a Pizza place. It was pizza similar to my sister makes on the grill. It was almost as good! We then went up the mountain in Zug. It was not so high, but a nice view. Jennie told us that people go up in the winter because Zug is below the fog line and can stay foggy for days. People go up to see the sun. I wish we could go up a mountain to see the sun in Michigan in winter.
We returned back. Got some Chicken for dinner, then Bob and I went to the farmer's next door to get some fresh milk. We don't speak any German but were able to get the milk with no problem. We had a nice dinner and watched a movie. It was a good day.

Is Zug German-speaking? I think the German word for milk is milch. :) How was the milk? Is it better fresh?

What's the name of this great chocolate-producer?
