Luzern, Switzerland, Day 1 - Exploring Old Town

By
After a wonderful couple of days in Zurich it was off to Luzern, Switzerland. 

We got there and got checked in and then went to check out the waterfront. There is a river that runs through the town and it was pretty nice 

Luzern was overall prettier than Zurich, but I preferred Zurich more. I'm not sure why. Luzern was alright, but it is not high on my list of places to go back to (even if it is picture perfect and we did lots of fun things there)




Kappelbrücke - the oldest wooden covered bridge in Europe with paintings of events in Luzern's history



The downtown was really nice to wander around and spy 





We even found an ice cream cart that had vegan eis!


Lake Lucerne







Lots of places to stop and sit and have a beverage along the water




While we were sitting with a beverage these guys came by doing some capoeira!

Seriously beautiful town

Dinner at Phanat Thai - lots of noodles! Pad See Eew

And Pad Thai. Pretty tasty! I love Thai food!

After dinner it was perfect timing to sit by the water and watch the sunset










It was a really nice day spent exploring. The old town is beautiful and easily walkable. When we checked into our hotel they gave us a free bus pass, but except for the one day when we went out of town farther, we didn't need it as it is all walking distance which is nice.

Stupid Libraries.

So I only have six minutes left and just wasted a few seconds letting you know, but I need some assistance in getting things off our iPod onto the net. In the last town we were in, I came so close to getting it up only to be thwarted by the only damn cd -burner in the shop being broken. This is the problem: my iPod is mac formatted - the folks at Apple thought it would be hilarious to not include some sort of compatibility between windows and mac versions of iTunes to read the voice memos you record from any computer. If your iPod formatted on a mac (I believe it's HSF +), windows iTunes will tell you to reformat the buggar . And get this, the iPod records voice memos in old school PC style wav files. What the hell. Anyway, I can't test or install things on this library computer, but if someone checking the blog who is tech savvy could find a program to retrieve data from a mac formatted iPod from a windows machine - a program that doesn't use a god damn install

Paris here we come!

So not much to update since the last time. I'm trying to think what we even did the past two weeks. Well last weekend was roller derby nationals in Atlanta, GA and is the first time we haven't gone to nationals in...4 years! We have gone the past 4 years so it was a little sad not to be there. However they do stream it live for a small fee so we did that so last weekend lots of roller derby was watched! Luckily it was on the east coast so it was only 6 hours difference so we didn't stay up too too late (Sat I think we got to bed at like 3am) and we got to watch Gotham win again! It was fun watching from the couch, but I much prefer to be there. I mean when I would be yelling at the TV and clapping and cheering when something good happened and it is just not the same when it is just me doing that. The claps echo in the room...Next year is going to be in Milwaukee which I don't really know anything about, but apparently they have a lot of vegan food. We shall see if we ma

The end

By
So it started raining on us for days and we cut out to come back to Seattle for a few days and wait for it to clear up.....and then Raymond decided he really did not want to go back out. So I at first was pretty upset cause I really wanted to get to Canada, or at least as far as we could while the weather was still nice this weekend. And I was feeling really like we were giving up for no reason. Like if one of us were injured or if I was hating it or something then I would have been better about it. But instead it was like the forecast called for gorgeous weather this weekend and we were just going to sit at home. I figured we could have at least gotten to the next stop and then only had one more chunk to do next year, but Raymond really didn't want to go back out so we decided not to. But hopefully by this time next year we will get the last 2 sections done, and maybe go back and do the section from white pass to snoqualmie as we went RIGHT by Mt Rainier and it is supposed to be g
