Out for ride number four since getting this new rennvelo. This ride took me around part of Lake Luzern, going through the towns of Kehrsiten and Beckenried. At Beckenried I took a small car ferry across the lake to Gersau. It was about a twenty minute boat ride and diagonally crossed the lake along its […]

day 46_august 30, 2008
A day out with about 15 others on a chartered bus (not including the bus driver and his two girlfriends). This was a trip sponsored by EF and for employees and friends/family. First stop was the Feldschloesschen brew- ery for a tour and private tasting. Then on to the quaint town of Rheinfelden for lunch. […]

This was a busy day! First to Eichof for their once annual sale. We received a promotional mailer which included coupons. It took about a week to translate and I’m glad I took the time. It turned out to be very beneficial, including free stuff. About half of the bottles fit into AJ’s stroller. The […]

In case you missed an earlier image of my rennvelo, here it is again. Out for my third ride. This time through Emmen, Ebikon, and partially around Lake Luzern. These images show a sampling of the types of bike routes/paths that are available. They are so nice. Many of them connect farms so beware of […]

Our shipping container arrived! That’s everything. We only filled up half of the container. The rest was free space. I now wish that we would have stuffed our car in, there was plenty of room. The shipping company officials informed us that the movers would be at our apartment between 9 and 9.30 am. This […]

This is the first of several images we have of our abusing (or using to our advantage) Ashtyn’s stroller. Most of the time she travels alongside the load, but there were occasions…. This load was all about setting up our terrace with planter boxes and native grasses. A week prior the stroller was useful in […]

Hop over our terrace wall and climb many stairs up we reach this…the Chateau Gutsch. The restaurant, with an amazing view of Lake Luzern, is open but the hotel is still under refurbishment and will continue to be for another two years. Behind the Chateau is a complete network of forest trails. Mt. Pilatus is […]

Today we had our official meeting with the Immigration Department for the Canton of Luzern, to be granted Class B Residency permits. It was very intimidating. Two immigration officials and a translator in a small room to explain our rights, duties and obligations as residents. It was a good thing Ashtyn was with us. They […]

Walking tour along the River Reuss, which Lake Luzern feeds. Altstadt and Neustadt are divided by this river and are connected with the many pedestrian bridges including the two famously ancient wooden ones. Our apartment is about three block from this river and about five minutes from where these photos were taken. Please note: click […]
day 31_august 15, 2008
The title of this day is, “House Arrest, The Solitary Confinement Edition.” Another Swiss Holiday. This one being The Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, a Roman Catholic Holiday. Andrea offered to take Ashtyn to the office for the day. (She also took our only umbrella.) I thought, great, I will go […]
