Meeting on the Rhine
There is no coast closer than a 5 hours drive from here. But a one hour drive at the weekend got us to Mainz on Saturday, very close to the place of the confluence of rivers Rhine and Main (despite the spelling, they actually rhyme).
Besides seeing friends again (how we had missed that!) and running and walking and chatting, we saw ships going by. Sometimes two of them meeting in the middle of the river.
It quietened down towards evening, and then HE came along:

The Next 25 Hundred Kilometers
I treated myself to a pedelec a last year and in the first 12 months I clocked up almost exactly 2500 km. I set myself the challenge to equal that this year. But with being back at school and May being almost completely rained out, I wonder if I stand a chance to meet my challenge.
Here is a photo of Wynona Rider (that’s the name of the bike) in front of vineyard. If anybody is wondering, when the picture was taken – there is an unmistakable clue that it is 2021.
