Thanks, Suzanne. Hope things in Germany get better soon and the vaccines get out there to you, and to my brother and sister-in-law in Saarland.

Thanks, Scott. You and Rachael are welcome any time.

Thanks for the ride with the pictures and all that interesting background information!

All good news - vaccinated and a move to a great location!
Looking forward to your journals from on the road!

You’re moving to HMB? Now that is exciting. It’s a lovely little spot, and one we’ll probably bike through again one of these years. Congrats on getting your shots - I got my first one this AM, and Rachael gets hers Thursday.

And thanks again for showing us around your neighborhood.

Slow streets. What a great idea!

I enjoyed doing those cemetery rides for everyone as I always learned or saw something different all the time in the cemetery. It's a huge place with so much history.

I hear ya. These are pretty old lumber so they're nice solid 12x's. A little narrow but not too bad to walk on when they're not rotten.

Thanks, Marilyn. It's easy to get jaded about your own neighborhood, isn't it? But trying to make sense of it for other people sure makes you look at things anew. That was the beauty of writing on Bike Life and doing the coffeeneuring etc. I loved reading about your local rides because they sure weren't local to me. I still remember the cemetery rides.

Thanks, Mike. Glad you enjoyed it.

Kathleen - I sure enjoy reading your journals! You always find such interesting things to see on your rides.

Nor to walk across the marsh on that tightrope, for that matter.

Thank you Kathleen for another informative and interesting report.

Mike

Thanks, Marilyn. You just never know what you'll learn when you get out of the house, right?

Kathleen - I really have enjoyed reading your journal! You find such interesting things to see near home. And you stop to read plaques!
