LANDSGEMEINDE WURST  CHF 35

Yesterday Sunday, we really made a great excursion and saw a really important part of Swiss culture. We went to the LANDSGEMEINDE in Glarus, The only authentic democracy left in Switzerland, (and probably in Europe).

Fantastic and beautiful. It was a charm and a really moving to see all the voters raising their hand with a light blue card.

It was also great to see the crowd; the crowd could vote and have lunch at the same time. It was really fascinating to observe how the machinery of democracy changed and this rusted democracy still seems to be the most fast and evident one in terms of what people want. It doesn’t get through the invisible process of counting and making corruption.

After the event that lasted until 13 o’clock we went to Mollis to eat at the Löwen restaurant a typical Glarner sausage that you only eat in the Landsgemeinde day.

It is DELICIOUS al thou 80 % of the sausage is bread.

Then I went back with the train with Alexandra. Franz sister. It was nice to talk to her in the train. It seems you get to know better people in the train. 

I also talked with Jen who was visiting from Boston, Franz wife. Jen is also a great woman, I really enjoy her company.
