Liechtenstein is a small country. I mean really small! Geographically it’s smaller than Washington DC. Its largest city has a population of roughly 6,000 people. In 2016 there were only 406 unemployed people in the entire country - which also may be inflated, because if you’re on maternity leave you’re considered unemployed & we see about 15 birth announcements a week in the local paper. Liechtenstein hasn’t had an army in 150 years. There’s no airport and only one trainline that runs through the northern portion of the country and has a total of three stops as trains make their way from Switzerland into Austria.
But one thing Liechtenstein has an abundance of is farm animals, and in particular sheep.
So this morning when we woke to the sound of bells in the field next to our apartment we were only moderately surprised to find this.
We have no idea how long our new neighbors will be staying with us, what their general habits are or the answers to any of the hundreds of questions Charlotte has been bombarding us with since they arrived but I’m sure we’ll have lots to tell very soon and in the mean time I’m going to try and keep Charlotte from hugging them.
