Wake up 8:15-pack-luggage needs to be down in lobby @ 9:00. Good bkft, make 2 sandwiches. Rt shows some steep climbs-decide to stay on flat rd. Lots of traffic-bike paths-bike on wide walking paths most of time. Bike lanes for real bikers. Rapperswil-gorgeous-going to have iron man tomorrow. Eat lunch by water. Go back to see church-see Cindy. Bike to Lachen-check into Hotel Baren-watch 3rd set of French Open w/Cindy. Jean comes in-wants to go to dinner w/us. Asian food again-bring my own water. Good day-raining now.

Hard to write about yesterday. Started out w/Cindy. Since bike trail was closed-suppose to have tough climbs out of town. My 1 good idea-take same walking path to waterfall (yesterday)& cross bridge. Pictures also appeared from yesterday. Going to be our longest day-Cindy stayed @ castle where cows were. On roads-little traffic,bike paths-gravel & good tree lined trails-steep climbs-rivers & farms. Little bit of everything. Cindy found us again-eat lunch on bench w/coke. Now going around Zurich airport-why would they have us go here? Cindy & UT have map meeting-going wrong way-go back 4 m. Meet lady on trail w/5 dogs-speaks English. She’s a nurse-takes her 5 therapy dogs to work everyday-15K (9 m)gets home & rides horse. Thunder & lightning-different rt #s to try to follow.Zurich traffic is unbelievable-find tunnels under rds. Now pouring-UT finds us a porch-stay over an hr. watching famlies biking by. Decide to go-very difficult to bike in Zurich-finally find hotel Sorell-Sparky & Wilson are so glad to be here-9:00 PM. Jean got here 3:30-before rain. Eat Thai w/Cindy. Can’t write anything.
