Sunday, Sept 14th

Today is sunny, but cool. There are a lot of other bikers on the paths and a number of walkers. Stopped around noon at a hotel for coffee and they were serving an elegant buffet; reminded me that it was Sunday. Later I stopped for lunch in the village of Bernkastel. Not only a very quaint town, but caught up with the classic car auction that we had seen earlier in Trier. Seemed like the event was more of a rally that an auction, but everybody seemed to be having fun. I met two guys from Pennsylvania who were friends at a VFW post. One of the gentlemen had been a German POW sixty four years ago and this was his first visit since. Next I crossed the bridge to the village of Kues. There was some kind of kids festival going on with all kind of activities for the kids. On the way back across the bridge I met a young couple from New Orleans who were on a whirlwind tour of Europe. When I got to our overnight town of Zeltingen, I discovered there was a winefest in progress. Instead of wine, I bought a glass of beer which cost 2 Euros.
