Guten Tag
Frankfurt our first night…..
In the year 2,000 Randal toured the world by bicycle with a group called Odyssey 2000. He has kept in touch with several of his fellow cyclists. Charmaine and Linda who joined with us in North Cyprus and Israel rode Odyssey. Michael Kahn is here in Germany doing a 6 week cycle trip along the rivers and also visiting the town in Germany where his mom lived until the late 30s when she had to leave the country.
It was a fun reunion for all of us as Randal and Michael swapped stories. There were over 100 riders on the “group” tour and each person had his own year-long adventure that often was more individual than group anything. After some wine, cheese, and talk we all walked across the river to somewhat soggy festival and ate some meaty German fare. And beer.

Walking across the river to the festival of food and music! |

Michael said the place was quite crowded earlier but perhaps the drizzle chased them away. Or we were too early for the evening crowd. The group sang American pop music. |
|
We probably had enough food for 6 but it was all gone by the end. I ate my share of the ribs for sure but not that whole plate. Though I could have! They tasted good and there’s not so much meat on them. I’ve pretty much given up meat but who can resist ribs right off the grill. |
|
Not the best evening for ice cream but Randal wanted a banana split and Michael knew just the place. I helped Randal just a bit with his. Just a bit. |

A photo of a duck and a distant landscape? That’s what it looked like to me until I looked at the next photo and saw it was a reflection of the dock. The ducks eat the growth on the docks and on the boats. |
