Last night, Mark, a Belgian gentleman, showed up at the hostel looking for space. He moved in and we went to dinner en masse. He's a little younger than us. He's done a good deal of cycle touring, including the Pilgrimage to Campostela starting from Belgium. One of his sons pedaled from the southern tip of Norway to the North Pole or somewhere close to it. Mark is heading the same direction as we are and will be on the same hotel tonight. My morning started embarrassingly. Breakfast at the hostel included the choice of muesli. Muesli, with some sugar added, is my preferred breakfast. The sugar bowl was empty, bit next to the bowl was a little box with the corner torn off. The cover picture showed a fine white powder, so I assumed it was sugar and poured a heap onto my muesli. The powder was, of course, salt! We had been warned that today would be a holiday. It turned out to be Corpus Christi. There were colorful parades and outdoor religious celebrations with pageantry. We encountered a fundraiser lunch event in a biergarten in Mengen. We just had to join the crowd. After we sat down, a parade marched to the biergarten and a marching band played. Unfortunately, I forgot to restart the RideWithGPS app after lunch, so only the first half of the ride was captured. Today's forecast was for rain. Fortunately, the sun held out until we arrived at our hotel. Mild rain after that. Trouble finding a hotel for tonight led to our having to take a hotel some kilometers off route in Zweifalten. What an unexpected treat! The abbey church is enormous and it is THE most lavishly decorated church I have ever seen!
