My husband and I are not yet veterans of overseas travel. On our fourth trip to Europe, in 2009, we arrived at the Luzern train station. It was late on a Saturday, so we wanted to get a few provisions.

We gathered a roasted chicken and veggies, then stopped at the cheese counter. When asked what kind of cheese I wanted, I was quite over- whelmed by the selections and replied, “Swiss cheese.”

The worker behind the counter looked at me funny, then said, “It’s ALL Swiss cheese!”
