Still not enjoying the sleep for which I am generally accustomed, the bus departed at 9:00 am for an excursion to the Swiss countryside. After an hour ride, the GFSI spouse tour embarked upon a Gruyére cheese factory. It was so interesting to see how this yummy cheese is made. A hands on education center demonstrated the delicacies that the black and white cows enjoy while grazing on the rolling hills. We watched the cheese makers do their thing in a spotless "kitchen" with giant vats and equipment. Then we could peek into the cellars where the cheese ripens. The group was treated to a terrific lunch of fondue and wine before going off to tour the medieval village of Gruyére and enjoy the ancient castle. Everyone snoozed on the trip back to rest up for the black tie gala tonight at Portes de Iris.
