I only recently noticed this sign in Lucerne.
Triple-X fitness sounds fairly hard-core, even for athletes obsessed with performance …
… but a look in the shop window indicates that they merely mean XXXL, as in extra-large muscles. I knew it had to be something like that!

Swiss "meat's" country -- barbecue included?
With Switzerland’s National Day coming up, there’s a lot going on this weekend. But this event sounds especially intriguing — note the bold black text near the top of the poster.
Meaty or not, the food at this restaurant is really good.
