Ah, that is true, your National Holiday to celebrate the founding of Switzerland (in the Middle Ages when I remember correctly). We will be in Switzerland (near Basel) the weekend of August 9/10, too late to see the festivities.
I wish you a wonderful weekend too!
It begun in 1291 when three men (farmers) of 3 different counties in the middle of our country swore to help each other. So we learned at school !! But then little by little other ones rejoined the group until Switzerland has become its today's composition of 27 cantons.And this is true !!! :=}}}}
