Sept. 27 Update

We have have left the Romantic Road far behind and made it as far as the Bodensee in Germany. The weather has not been very lovely, in fact today it was 5C for most of the morning.

The cute walled towns of the Romantic Road were fun to visit and one of the towns, Nordlingen, was in the middle of an old meteor impact crater. We got to ride through the old rim of the crater - read challening and hilly - but it was nicely forested and made for interesting viewing when we climbed the church tower.

We are now planning to cycle three countries in three days. Germany, Austria and Switzerland all boarder the Bodensee.

Hi Erich, Aunt Susie here...
I was looking at the map and trying to see where you are. I see a little town called Mainz that is north of Srasbourg, and I think west of where you are. It is the town that my contactor's family comes from; his name is Morgan Mainz. His dad was a german shipbuilder before he came to the U.S.
Good work with the blogs - I love reading about what you are seeing. The town built into the meteor crater sounds amazing!
Miss you guys!
