The World Traveler

I came across this today. I was surprised that the Vatican was listed as its own country.

Fourth of July In Austria

Not sure what this sign at the hotel says, but it looks cute.

Quaint little hotel. Good wifi, too.

My fourth of July dessert. There was a chocolate fountain.

Ice cream ... and obviously not much left.

This is the view at the mountain top. Many watching the Jumbotron.

Greg Van Avermaet in his King of the Mountain jersey.

Photo of dinner in Switzerland. The fries were very good.

This is the menu. Yes, on a clipboard.

Hallway of my hotel for pre-race and Stage 1. Pretty cool.

Straight out of "Tron": Now that's a BIG door.

You've heard of "Happy Picnic," how about Happy day juice?

Welcome To Austria

The row of team buses at the Zurich airport.
A quick entry because it's way late. But first impressions of Austria are very good. Beautiful views, good food and the wifi at the hotel is working (for now, right?).

Ski lift right in the middle of downtown. Crazy.

The list of everything that's in the equipment truck.

Mauro Santambrogio's runner-up trophy was on the bus.

That's a flat screen TV on my desk. And a cordless phone.

One of the most unique bathrooms I've seen.

Check out the view of the room from the tub.

My room key. Julia won't be getting this one.

View from my room. Right beside a huge mountain.

They really go all out when it comes to making the beds.
