It's Harvest Season

I thought wine grapes were sour, but they are sweet. All harvested by hand. It was quite fun to watch.
See the bottom yellow sign? It's leftover from the war. It's the speed limit for tanks!
Cute little churches along the river. Lots of wild sunflowers too.
We were trying to beat the sunset. We sure didn't want to get stuck on the trail in the dark. We made it to our car with about 10 minutes before pitch black!

Loved this church in the middle of the vineyard.
They had wagons filled with people partying. They had lots of wine and food, and were either pulled by tractor or horses.
Tom's favorite....barges. Reminds him of his childhood on the Rhine.

I don't think you're ever allowed to say that your life is routine and that you have nothing to report :)
