Kent and I were staying on opposite ends of Saas Fee - I was near the parking lot and bus stop, he was near the lifts and close to the cow fighting event.

Wandering off to find the cow fighting...

Lunch was a bit of a challenge
Kent had raclette and most other folks did, but the cheese smell makes me nausous, I can't stand it, I needed something else.
The menus were all in German.
I finally figured out that they listed brauts and fries on the menu, but couldn't find them anywhere.
I asked - they were downhill out of sight behind the bleachers, we had passed them on the way in.
We bought our meal tickets, and finally found the brauts and fries.
Victory!
