 Today was an early start to the day as we left Linz to head to Greins . Linz is  a very industrial modern town as towns go here and was all but closed as it was a sunday but we did visit a very large church and actually heard part of a mass in english. Today  was only a 65 km ride and with a stiff wind to our backs it was smooth sailing until we hit one of our planned destinations along the route. It was the concentration camp in Mauthausen which held up to 200,000 people during the war. Words cannot express the emotions. It was a somber ride for the rest of the day and we spent most of it reflecting back. Tonight we are in Greins having some local foods we purched in the grocery store,althought it is a guessing game sometimes as to what we buy as everything is in German. Tomorrow were of to Krems were we,ll have more beer after another 90k's.Till then.
