Travel story: Gruyeres

At some indiscriminate point south of Bern, the exit signs on the autoroute stop reading 'Ausgang' and begin reading 'Sortie'. We found this rather exciting simply because our French is much better than our German. An entire region between Lausanne and Bern is called La Gruyere, and this is where the cheese of the same name comes from. The region is centered (or was once at least) on the town of Gruyeres which sits on a rocky crag jutting into the valley.
