I love the Swiss!

The Swiss make my favorite watches, chocolates, and cheese. Their Alps are breathtaking, ski resorts are great...did I mention I love their chocolates?

My occupation is healthcare and the Coronavirus has been consuming my time. But when this 10lb giant arrived today it gave me a chance to devote some time with son to enjoying it.

That stuff is like crack. Always can’t resist buying the giant block anytime I’m at a duty free

That’s the biggest toblerone I've ever seen! Wow!


Also, thanks for dedicating yourself to working on the coronavirus. I’m very grateful we have smart folks dedicated to such efforts.

Toblerone

Hey I hear the Swiss also have some neat mountain that they made to look exactly like the one in Disneyland.

Thanks everybody. It took me two days to eat it while my son finished his in a day and a half. And thanks for the kind words about my work.

I will not be posting much for the next little while. So, if I could offer you one bit of advice about the pandemic I would say be HIGHLY selective about where you go. I have been waiting for a super virus to appear since the 90's. And from what I have seen I predict the spread of COVID-19 will increase exponentially in the coming weeks.

Stay clean and be careful.
