Day 7 looks awesome. Stoic pic of Ken and Ben on the ferry. Ben looking, well, ‘Sharp!’ Ken, always looking good, no matter what. You guys have the life, I am continually jealous.

But I can’t ride a bike nowhere near the level of you guys! Enjoy, and eat more food for me. I wish I was there! The photo blog is awesome, thanks Edelweiss!

Cool Edelweiss updates, so we can follow on the trek. I am continually considering my life choices of not owning and riding a bike. Get it!

I admit I had to do a double take at Furkapass, but what a beautiful place and the old Belvedere Hotel—-great group photo in front of that! And the glaciers and the Deadlake and the bright blue Stonelake—are all such remarkable scenery! And, I love the statue at Gotthardpass! Keep them coming—love traveling with you!

Beautiful photos of Andermatt—I particularly liked the Mary Chapel built in 1740–and I loved the photo of the house covered in vines. Not to mention the incredible mountains, still some snow caps—and that blue sky. Also, loved seeing the photo of Ken and Ben on the Ducati’s.
