that would be the little village of Hagenbuch.
from here
I'm living with Stefan's mom in the same home where Stefan (and his brother and sister) grew up. This village of no more than 1000 is now home to not only Stefan's mom, but also Stefan's brother (and his girlfriend) and, in October, Stefan's sister (and her husband and baby girl).
Seems like Stefan and I are the odd ones out.
Anyway, onto the village. Here's the bustling city-center:

Note the precision with which a Swiss person's wood is cut and arranged.
It even gets it own perfectly-sized shingled roof to boot.

Not only size-coordinated, but color-coordinated.
The Swiss know how to do it.
Yes, the majority of Swiss houses look exactly like you think they would look.
picture-perfect window boxes
no idea what this is but it looked suitably cute and Swiss
Did you know that if someone's house or land isn't well-kept and maintained,
his or her neighbors can file a complaint with the government and have them be punished?
Makes for a very orderly country.
me in my uber-stylish outfit (dress over bathing suit with running shoes) for
spazierien gehen mit dem Hund
(walking the dog)
Sidenote: did you ever notice how much German speakers love loooooooooooooong words and phrases and sentences (like "spazierien gehen" for "walk")?
Like Lebensabschnittpartner (for partner or lover)
Or Freundschaftsbezeigungen (for demonstrations of friendship)
Or perhaps the most important for you to know given that you will likely use it multiple times daily when visiting a German-speaking country:
Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz
(for beef labeling regulation & delegation of supervision law)
looking back over the village on our walk with the dog
the bakery Stefan grew up going to for Saturday morning Gipfelis (crossiants)
adorable, right?
More Swiss details to come.
