Aug 8 Chur and BBQ with Rob and Ingrid

Yesterday we enjoyed breakfast with Ingrid and Rob. Then (in the afternoon) drove to Chur (20 minute drive) which is near the headwaters for the Rhine river (one of the Rhine river branches is in the valley below Trin. We decided to walk in the Chur altstadt as it would be quieter on Sunday. We stumbled onto a food festival on one of the narrow streets. In the evening, Rob and Ingrid invited us to join them for a bbq.
