Frauenparkplatz; and Where the Buffalo Roam

 Murten and Wise Parking Arrangements

Avoid parking where you must anticipate your time away. Ticketing, and hiding the pay-go ticket machine around the corner so you think the parking is ok on the street where you are (NOT!) is, as here, a favorite municipal pastime.  Lots cost more, but you can enjoy your lunch.

Frauenparkplatz in Murten.  Ladies-only parking. A common-sense safety courtesy:  In Murten's facility, ladies can park cozily on the first level, at the street entrance, lots of lighting and a chance of people around.  With our Sir Daniel Galahad along, however, we happily spiraled downward instead. For any parking garage safety and efficiency in car-retrieval, write down your parking level and identification. Or take a picture at your level and spot and delete it when you don't need it. Before getting in your car, check under and all around, quick in and lock. As anywhere. Walk noisily so you do not surprise someone doing what some do.



Roll down the window and inhale. Aah.  No parking fumes.  But, what the?

Egad!


Les Buffalo! 

These are not the water buffalo whose milk has a high fat content and is added to some Swiss mozzarella cheese varieties, see ://www.nytimes.com/2006/06/12/world/europe/12swiss.html/.  These are the USA western plains variety.  Is their milk also used for cheese?

Known:  Their rumps make a nice salted meat product, and those and other parts provide variety steaks and burger, see http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=ArticleURL&_udi=B6T9G-3YCV00N-B&_user=10&_coverDate=04%2F30%2F2000&_rdoc=1&_fmt=high&_orig=search&_sort=d&_docanchor=&view=c&_searchStrId=1382446832&_rerunOrigin=google&_acct=C000050221&_version=1&_urlVersion=0&_userid=10&md5=09b38e163f53418765a23f761044d3d4/.  

Salted buffalo rump? Air-cured. Bresaola. A new Swiss industry.  From its Italian roots to the Swiss, see ://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-bresaola.htm/


Inhale? Are you kidding?


Very fine milk, too.
