Thanks to Halle (@Politepix) and Hans (@hansv) for identifying my mystery birds as the common coot (fulica atra). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurasian_coot
✅ Fondue ?
Welcome to Luzern! (View If Lake Luzern from our hotel room.) (Hirschmatt – Kleinstadt, Lucerne, Switzerland)
Lunch stop in Erstfeld. Beautiful scenery, even from the train station. (Erstfeld, Uri, Switzerland)
So those are the tools I’m using on this trip. I hope you found one on my list that you’ll find useful. And now, if you’ll excuse me, we’re entering the Alps and I have some sightseeing to do! ?
Finally, for air travel, there are two apps I find useful. First, the Delta app for flight status. Second is the Mobile Passport app which makes it easier and faster for those (like me) without Global Entry to get through immigration at supported U.S. ports of entry.
