Vern is riding the Bernina Pass and Albulapass into Italy today--I cleverly rode in the luggage van to Bormio, as it was beginning to rain before they left. He had a tough day yesterday, but a much better day today. He seems to get stronger as the week goes on. The Albulapass is a bear; and he has the Stelvio to look forward to tomorrow! I'm safely (and drily) esconced in my room in Bormio, after going to a little cafe for a panini. We're staying in a cute hotel named "Baita dei Pini" (which means "take a bite of my panini" in Italian. ) The bottom picture is when we crossed the Rhine River yesterday--very cool! I also must mention that our granddaughter Kasey's first day of kindergarten was Tuesday, and she was so excited! She loves her teacher, and most of all, loves the fact she can have chocolate milk for lunch. Remember when things were that simple? We are having a great time on the cycling tour, but it will be nice to stay in one place longer than 2 nights. It's a great group of people, who love to punish themselves and then eat a lot! Love to all, K and V
