Photo of the Day: Picnic in the Alps

Does your picnic include a certificate of authenticity? It does if you travel with RW trip leader Daniel Sundqvist. Not only does he carry a watermelon in his pack, but he also bears papers certifying the authenticity of his cheese. On this sunny day in the Alps, Daniel and his guests enjoyed cheese from a fromagerie in Saint Vrain, France. Note the pickle included with each sandwich. It’s the little touches that make a good picnic great!
