Some pictures from our trip

This picture is overlooking the Danube to the town of Durnstein. We crossed the river on a small ferry and then cycled back to the town of Weissenkirchen, where we were staying. It was in the Wachau Valley, very famous for it's vineyards. Up on the mountain you can see the remains of the castle where Richard the Lionhearted was imprisoned.

We were leaving the Czech Republic, crossing the iron curtain into Germany. It was actually quite moving to know that in not too distant history, people were shot for making this crossing.

This picture was taken in the town of Cesky Krumlov...a beautiful little town in Bohemia.

We saw and experienced so much on our trip...and are grateful we had the opportunity to go. Hopefully, we will be able to make another cycling trip in the future. We are currently trying to make a decision about going to the Holy Land in February with Anne and Bill.

We have enjoyed the upsurge in posts to the family blog! Dad and I have had more than a few laughs over the pictures and comments! We are a very blessed family!

We are off to Texas this weekend to spend some time with the Husteds.

Winter is fast approaching...we have had several deep frosts and most of the leaves are down. We slept in front of the fire place last night to keep warm! The cows are due to deliver at the end of the month.
