Laowai

Well we’re finishing off our time here with a bang. We were excited to find out, earlier this year, that the Tour de Suisse was going to go right by our town. Brian got a kick out of the fact that the race was going on all the hills that he is so familiar with from his riding. We saw the racers go by twice. Once on Friday just steps from our house when they were almost done racing for the day. And then again in Rapperswil (a town towards the bottom of Lake Zurich) when they had just started their day. 

It was our hottest day yet – they’re eating ice cream sandwiches.

The girls got into collecting free stuff from the sponsors. Claire was funny – when a car was coming I would say – put your hands out girls – and she would do just that. She’s a cute little begger. We got a bunch of trinkets and candy that we don’t need.
