We're here!! The airport was fun...hooked up with Mike in Atlanta and the Austins in Zurich. Here are some wonderful pics! Guess who slept on the plane??

It's great to be with Andreas again! He brought roses for all the ladies (married life is good for him!), we loaded the bus and headed for a tour of the old town of Zurich. We stopped into a beautiful church with gorgeous stained glass windows by Chagall no less!! GYC sounded awesome as they sang "Jubilate Deo". The acoustics were astounding.

Then we headed to Rhine Falls, driving through breath taking scenery and boarded a boat to get a closer view. Jamie and Allie got soaked (couldn't have happened to two sweeter people)!

Back on the bus for more of a drive into the Black Forest. We even found out how it got its name...tell you later. We arrived at our beautifully appointed Bavarian hotel and check in went smoothly. Dinner was yummy; weiner schnitzel, trout and green ravioli all followed by delicious ice cream. A walk through the magical forest at the end of the day helped us burn off those calories!
And we still haven't slept yet!

Lou here: I have been able to sleep during Andreas's informative narrations and an hour before dinner. Be sure to ask Rick about the swan feeders......oh, yeah! Debby and I are writing this as our hubbys snooze away in the cool, cedar-walled bedrooms. Let's see......one room blew out their power while ironing clothings....we'll keep you posted on what happens next!
We'll get better at posting the pics, etc. too tired now...Enjoy!
