Mountain Biking Today

Phew...that was a lot of entries for one night. So finally am caught up to today.

Mike and I went mountain biking in Todtnau today. It is crazy how at the top of all the climbs there is a restaurant in the middle of nowhere. Had wurstsalat today, oh so good. Finally got my new car, it arrived on Friday....bike rack and all! Came in super handy today. I am sure Mike will be posting a picture of the car on the blog soon.

My Favourites

So far Copenhagen has been one of my favourite cities in Europe. I was there 2 weeks ago again and it is a really funky city. Fantastic restaurants and fabulous fashion. Also the UK, the people there are great. Only thing is that all these places are soooooo expensive! Oh, and how could I forget Paris...I love France.

Wine Wine and more Wine

The vines are full of grapes right now. The harvesting is starting and so are the wine festivals!

Believe it or Not...We have Friends!

It's You, Me and Dupree! OK, not quite, Shannon...we are family!



Matt and Caroline from Ireland.

Round Two!

More family - Mom and Dad arrived the beginning of August. It was a classic visit to the Black Forest...country restaurants, cuckoo clocks, churches, castles and beer in Bavaria. We even visited the famous Neuschwanstein Castle. It was nice to have a meal cooked by mom again...mmmmm homemade meatballs!

Look Out - Here Comes Family!!!

Sandi and Ian arrived at the end of July and we all had a ton of fun together. We went to Prague for a few days and I must say that although it was a beautiful city it was like a tourist invasion (including ourselves)! We took a boat tour down the Vltava River and did some shopping for Bohemian crystal. Weather was perfect!







Also went to Stuttgart for a day trip. Ian's turn to do the shopping!

Berlin

Had the chance to go to Berlin for a congress. Best part was that I had some time to be toured around the city by Dr. Forrest, the best guide ever! We did a lot of walking but got to see a fair amount of a very cool city.

C'est la vie!!!

Karrie came to visit for a week at the beginning of July and we spent the weekend in Paris. Did the whirlwind tour of all the historical sites but also enjoyed the good food, amazing crepes and sipping cappuccino or wine in the afternoons. Paris is a fabulous city!

Sooooo Behind...
