The next morning we went back to the ever-widening Rhine River. The milky color of the water is typical of glacial rivers. Calcium is reputed to be the source of the bluish-white color.
Like the Rhine, the valley was widening also, with crops of wheat, corn and other vegetables. Orchards and vineyards were visible on the lower slopes.
We chose a shady playground to eat our picnic lunch and Sal relaxed in a breezy swing to the amusement of one or two children, and Ken!
We rode on in the afternoon to Sargans, a short distance away from the Rhine. We checked in to our hotel just in time to watch the men's finals at Wimbledon.
