Rapperswil

After another run through the vineyards this morning, Margaret and I visited Rapperswil, a small town on Lake Zurich. January 1 is a national holiday, so not much was open, but it was still very exciting. The main attractions in Rapperswil are a castle and church that overlook the lake. Despite the clouds obstructing the view of the Alps, it was incredibly beautiful. Most of the buildings are restored originals, so Rapperswil looked exactly like how I've pictured Switzerland: buildings with shutters, shingled roofs, Julie Andrews singing from the hilltops. All of that.

Adjusting to the jet lag is still not going well. It's after 3am here and I'm wide awake.

Barcelona is getting closer and closer. I can't wait.

Hasta.
