"Switzerland - my origins" Switzerland by Redlats

I spent my first year of life in Switzerland, then moved to Britain, then to Canada. I'm Canadian now, but I feel an affinity to my birth country. I have visited almost every corner of Switzerland, so I may be able to help if anyone required tourist information.<p>I will add pictures to these pages as I come across them in our photo albums, etc. We received this card from a Swiss friend. The painting is called Des poules by Albert Anker, and it is in an art museum in Neuchatel. She could easily have been a great-grandmother of mine.
