Mosel River Valley

There are little villages all along the river. So you can ride a little then stop and have a drink, eat a meal or get a hotel for the night.

More pictures from our bike ride.

Mosel River Valley

The bike trip took us through the wine fields of the Mosel River Valley. They put grapes all over the hills to the point that they cannot use machines to pick the grapes so they hire migrant workers. Most of these workers come from Poland.

Road Work

Sometimes you see something that is just calling out for a lawyer.

Church in Hungary

Here is one of the churches in the old part of Budapest.

Budapest, Hungary

We went to Budapest, Hungary for a meeting. The streets look like Riga but the Parliment building is spectacular.

Castles

Here are two castles that we visited in Latvia.

Cesvaine, Latvia

We were out driving around Latvia and came to this little town that had these amazing structures. One picture is the largest Lutheran church in Latvia and the second picture is an old manor converted into a high school.

Battle of the Bulge

We went to the site of the Battle of the Bulge. The sign says that 76,000 US troops were killed, injured or lost during this winter battle. The battle is still very much in the minds of the people who live here.
