June 25 – Sunday on the Rhine…

Wonderful dinner at a restaurant overlooking the Rhine Valley.

June 26 – Currants ripening- a fabulous morning walk before leaving for the Frankfort airport hotel.

A collective of small gardens typically found near railroad tracks (or in this case the river). City dwellers work their gardens on their days off.

Keith and I walked in to the village. Had a cappuccino and witnessed this array of bikes- one shared bike parked, one tricycle for a paraplegic, and one for the postal carrier, all stopped at the red light. Not a scene likely to be seen in the US.

And in closing out our trip, here are a few photos from Keith’s symposiums in Kiel in the early days of our journey.

And this photo when his colleagues threw him a surprise birthday party… Keith calls this ” Two German naval historians and a hobbit historian”.

One last photo of the Rhine taken from the train to Frankfurt. Flew back home on the next day- June 27. A good, uneventful plane trip SC.

Thanks for coming along on our journey. So long until our next travels.
Auf Wiedersehen bis zum nachsten Mal.
