Krinau

I´m currently an au pair for a German family living in Krinau. I just got here five days ago and am staying for a year. The second night I was here was the Swiss National Day, it was very cute here. Many of the townspeople gathered and walked up the road to a field (of which there are many here) for a bonfire. Children set of tons of firecrackers and fireworks´. A real sense of community! Unfortunately I haven´t met anyone in the town really except for the two kids next door. It´s very quiet here minus the tinkling of the cowbells and the tolling of the church bells. The farms are very charming.
