A spicy brioche apparently.

Fabulous pics of the cathedral!
7 years agoYes, in the US the Rails to Trails assoc and ACA are trying but the difference with Western Europe is really night and day. One measure is that we are willing to pay a 50% surcharge through the exchange rate to be here. (Prices here in Euros are about the same as those in dollars back home, but the Euro is 50% more valuable)
7 years agoCan you email a couple of photos of the ride? Is Ken still happy to follow (or lead) unassisted?
7 years agoAh yes, we have seen Loreley and Lorelei.
I guess in a shorter cruise one would listen to a commentary and be on deck watching. But on a multi day one maybe one would end up in an easy chair and overeating at a buffet?
Hooray, I got one right!
7 years agoI've been doing and following bike touring's for about 25 years now.. I can see why you prefer France, Germany and Austria.. There's no equal here in the US.. I did not understand before..
7 years agoWe were stationed near Kaiserslautern in the mid-70s, and one of the Germans I worked with told about a business trip he made several hours to the northeast. A guy in a gasthaus heard his accent and asked where he was from, so he told the tiny village name and another guy said, "Oh that's in Rheinland Pfalz, between Germany and France!" Everyone laughed because the area had been claimed and reclaimed by both France and Germany so many times in history.
7 years agoLast year we used that method of'grinding up prunings which is much quicker knowing we wouldnt be picking the grapes. Ken however is a perfectionist and in an area like ours where the pressure of fungal disease is so high for vine health burning is the way to go.
W have a challenging but beautiful 10k ride from our new house which we are doing each day in an attempt to get some cycle fitness
keep safe

Well, our clock has been a wall decoration for a couple decades now. Never had the continuous cucko mode. I would think that should be easy to fix. Probably some little cog worn out or something. Popular as they are, there should be a place you can get it worked on. (This is opinion only, and subject to total inaccuracy)
We enjoyed our short cruise. Saw the Loreli (however that is spelled) the Maus Turm and dozens of other castles. Long, long ago! Hard to remember much more than a few tiny snippets, and those are suspect in accuracy!

Quick google search of images matches to Burg Katz.

There was an older man holding forth in German ie bridge museum to a small group of what looked like family members with what seemed like reminiscences. But we realized it could not be first hand memories given how long ago it was now. Still we have the accounts from our parents and you have your brothers, so it is still kind of in living memory.
7 years agoMine currently has bouts of cuckoo-ing without stop. Should I try to get it repaired?
What was the Rhine cruise like? The ships sure do look interesting.
They will need the "wet" style chain lube.
