We knew today was going to be another exciting day. After a very filling and relaxing breakfast we were off to see the city of St. Gallen. On our way into the city we stopped off at some very scenic overlooks where we could see almost every corner of St. Gallen, quite an old and beautiful pla
ce. After parking the car downtown we walked a bit to get a flavor of the city. The highlight of our visit in the city was an extremely well preserved Baroque Cathedral from the 18th century, that hous
es many manuscripts from the early Middle Ages. The interior of the church and the organ were quite impressive. After leaving the city we headed to a local zoo where we had a picnic lunch of delicious St. Gallen bratwursts. Continuing on our fun packed day, we were off to visit the Maestrani Swiss Chocolate factory in Flawil (
http://www.maestrani.ch). The tour was quite interesting, but what was more special was that we were constantly being given samples of many of their very tasty products.......too good to resist! We now headed back to our host's home for a bit of relaxation and joyful conversation. After another excellent dinner, we were now headed out again........ to Lake Constanc
e. Hard to believe, but at 9:30 PM I was actually swimming in Lake Constance, a large lake on the Rhine between Germany, Switzerland, and Austria. After a lot of fun, laughs and good friendship, we headed back to Gossau for a good nights sleep. Again, another wonderful, fulfilling and great day.

Hello!
I hope you are also having a good time in Luzern. How was the bridge? We were at Lake Constance again yesterday but during the day. It looked like the sea!
My family says hello too.
