OVER THE RIVER AND THROUGH THE WOODS




This past weekend my husband and I spent alot of time on the bikes.
On Saturday, we took the Harley out on a long bike tour.

We drove out into the country and passed some very charming Dorfs (villages) on the way.
After about an hour of riding, we stopped here to have a tiny break and something to drink.

This wine terrace is located in the midst of hundreds of wine vineyards. These vineyards are located in the mountains, and the view from up top is amazing!



On Sunday we took the bicycles out for a city tour. There are a couple of bike route from our home that leads into the city but, we decided to take the route that runs along the Rhine River.

The way was filled with other bikers, people walking, and inline skaters.
Many people were sunbathing, picnicking and enjoying the overall loveliness of the day.



The little ones were along for the ride as well.


It was a great day for a run.... without running shoes!

We headed into the city where people were enjoying an afternoon at the sidewalk cafes.
All of the shops are closed here on Sunday so, window shopping was the order of the day.

To our surprise the Sunday Market was in full swing! There were hundreds of vendors selling vintage and antique wares.


My husband looks so lost in the crowd.


This vendor had some awesome vintage hats and handbags.


There were a few vendors selling vintage and handcrafted furniture.


And, even a few vintage sewing notions.


The atmosphere was highlighted by this gentleman's excellent piano playing.

What a great weekend! I hope that you had a great one too!
