Rain!

Pigs in the rain

Rain greeted us this morning and kept us company all day.  After deciding at breakfast to stay another night in Tuttingen, we discovered that our hotel was fully booked for tonight.  Using a map of hotels in town we walked from one to the next, finding them all full.  Guess those surgical instrument buyers are a busy lot.  Finally we lucked out--a very pleasant room for 89E, and a garage for our bike as well.  

lunch in the room

We spent most of the day reading and napping, with a river walk -- in the rain of course -- in the evening.  Slightly better weather forecast for tomorrow and some sun on Thursday before the next storm hits.  Perhaps we can make some tracks through Austria towards Hungary and find a more interesting city to wait out the next storm in.




rde adds: What a way to spend a birthday -- Judy's 70th no less. (Trivia aside: she shares this day with GHWB#41, 18 years older, as we learned at his library in Texas in 2009.) Neither of us was up for a celebratory dinner tonight, since lunch was very ample and the weather stinks. But she knows she has a rain check.
