Gluten tag!

With a few days of R&R before our departure from Zurich, Arlo suggested the island of Lindau on Lake Constance and, well, it was on the way. We rented e-bikes and rode from Germany through Austria and into Switzerland — three countries by bike! Then it was time to cake it easy and we found a sweet cafe to complete our cake walk goals: From apfelstrudel to zwetschgenkuchen (plum cake), we left no crumb behind. Thanks to Arlo, my butter half, for taking all of the best photos and talking me down off many precarious ledges. Thanks to you for reading along!

Sole searching

We added a 13th day to our hiking trip (baker's dozen) when Chris suggested we check out the Cortina waterfalls. Chris then did some sole searching when his boots disintegrated on the trail. We knew the time had come to give the Alps the boot and head to Munich to see the rest of the family. En route, Arlo got word that his application for German citizenship was approved. We enjoyed celebrating with German beer, spaetzle cooking class with Stephi, and other hair necessities.
