Along the Rhein river

We are mellowing out on a Sunday morning after a 20 km bike ride yesterday along the Rhein from Schaffhausen to Stein Am Rhein. Along the way, we were surprised that we actually crossed into Germany for a little bit -- the boys were excited to be in Omi's home country and both said that they wanted to ride all the way to Gunzenhausen (Omi's home town -- we hope to visit there soon)! Stein Am Rhein is a classic, pictureque little town. During our brief visit the boys found a place to play in the sand along the Rhein.











Before we left the Hauptbahnhof in Zurich we encountered a "cheese rolling" contest -- those big round things that they are pushing are big rounds of cheese and they were VERY heavy! On the train ride back to Zurich, Omi and Isaac worked on their star wars-inspired play about good and evil; Elliot watched the scene out the train window.
