The Alps are really amazing!

Note: They gather it in winter time when it is snowy and freezing out when the animals are in the barn and then they spray it I think with special attachments to their tractors all over the green grass and farmland when the Animals are put out to pasture (some time around then).

 The farmers at 3000 feet and above elevation gather all the urine and excrement from their cattle and sheep and pigs and goats and spray it on their grasses for perfect recycling of what the grass fed cattle and sheep and goats and pigs eat. This makes the fields incredibly green even now. Really green and happy hills and likely happy animals too. 

We went up a Gondola today to where you can see 360 degrees in all directions mountains that remind me a lot of the Tetons in Wyoming at Teton national Park where there are buffalo and Elk and Moose there too. So, imagine you are looking at the Tetons and you see the Teton mountains for 360 degrees. This is what we saw today. Also, it misted and rained where we are a little and so put a layer of snow at the higher elevations likely above 8000 feet. Beautiful Country!  

There were people in native Alps dress with ancient backpacks made of wood like you might have seen in the 1930s and before carrying all sorts of interesting stuff on their backs
