Lucerne, Switzerland

11:40 am

We feel a bit nomadic moving from city to city every few days, but it is worth it. Yesterday we visited the Rhine Falls after we watched coo-coo clocks being made shortly before leaving Germany.

After leaving Amsterdam we saw a gothic cathedral in Cologne before making our stop in Heidelberg. The hotel was surprisingly modern as opposed to our "3 star" hotel here in Lucerne, where the toilet and bathroom sink are connected. For the first time, we ate bratwurst and turned our noses up at the sauerkraut. The hotel restaurant was kind enough to serve french fries to suit our "picky" taste buds.

A rather large spider wanted to share our hotel room and Wes escorted him to the trash can on a one-way paper towel ticket. At least the food is good.

We are shopping this morning and had planned to ascend Mt. Pilatus this afternoon, but the weather has other plans for us. It is snowing up there, so... more shopping! Alas, alas.

We return to Germany tomorrow (Munich) after making a stop in Liechtenstein. Hope everything is going well back home!
