Happy 718th Birthday!!!

Essentially, you can buy WAY bigger fire works here in CH for Swiss National Day which is today, 1. August. Big stuff. The stuff that sounds like things are exploding (which I suppose they really are). Teenagers line up to buy it at the supermarket - a formula that works well no matter what country you live in. Right now I'm sitting out on the balcony listening to World War III.

And the city is completely empty. It's very weird. They're all out camping or something. Or floating down the river. We all did our shopping on Friday because EVERYTHING is closed today. The restaurants were open, but even they all closed early.

On another note, new AWESOME route:

6 or so km of climbing. AWESOME!!!! I did it twice. The climbing part only though. Coming down is a total blast. Although the second time I had to hit the brakes hard due to a tractor coming up in the opposite direction.
