6/11 Mon WALENSTADT, SWITZERLAND to LIECHTENSTEIN to FELDKIRCH, AUSTRIA 3 countries in 55 K-

Another beautiful day in 3 beautiful countries. Hard to think about biking in Austin w/friends Mary Ruth, Korey, Karen-traffic & no bike paths. Leader about to make me bike up to castle-see Cindy-gets us back on path-she goes to castle. Meet Maggy taking group of students to theatre in next town-asks for help. Chain came off Catarina’s bike-Armand fixes it-gets kiss & called hero. Remind him-he didn’t come back & help me. Stefan also very nice-stops run to help us-looked lost. Get to Feldkirch-all go to church & castle. At castle lady offers to take our picture-can’t believe it-name is Karen from TX-plays golf. She’s w/Clemens from Austria. He’s 17-gives us tour of castle & answers quest. Been to TX, wants to go back-at 18 all males go into service for 1 yr- pd $500 a month. Country is Catholic. Commented on cost of food-prices are better here & Germ. Swiss make lot of money-people who clean hotels make $4,000 a month-secretaries make much more. Also texted mom-found us best restaurant & meal so far. Armand is sleeping-light & tv don’t bother him.
