The First Day on the River

Just a few pictures before bed:

Laurie and Brock in front of the hotel before we headed out.

Natalie on the ramp.  You can see that she's placed her left skate so that it will brace against the lif of the step, which then slants down.  BIZARRE!

Our first adventure before we even got on the path! A steep ramp with shallow steps which faced UP, making it virtually impossible to skate, with a sharp turn onto the path at the bottom, and the river RIGHT ahead! (Our hotel is the 12th through 14th floors of the tall building in the background.)


The fog burning off as we headed out of town.

An early view of the Mosel and the path in France

Just after consulting the map of our day's route (the right of Paul).

The campground where we got briefly lost in Malling, from the other side of the river.

Our first vineyards!  Many more to come, but everyone was very excited about the FIRST!

One of our many crossings of the Mosel, leaving Contz-les-Bains

Aaron and Tracie in Sierk-les-Bains, where we stopped for sorbets and cidre.


Steve on the bridge into Remich, Luxembourg, with our hotel just by my left ear.

The view from my window in the hotel in Remich, looking back to the bridge where the previous picture was taken.
