Whirlwind with the Greens

First we went to Bonn.  Dreesen, rented bikes, hiked to the Drakenfels.  The lovely normal routine.

Next we biked the Loire Valley.  Electric bikes so don't be impressed.  I was usually in the lead and had a bright jacket on. Hard to miss.

Chenonceau castle.  Why do some live like this and others are on the streets?  It will be nice in heaven when things are more evened out.

We stayed at Chateau Perreaux near Amboise.  Lucky the guy who took our photo had a 'fish-eye'

Back to Brussels we went for the mandatory waffle and we ran into a mob of missionaries:  15 in total!  Off we go to get a waffle and to keep us all together I was the tour guide, umbrella and all.  I felt like the leader of the Army of Helaman.  

No description necessary

Last stop was Budapest Hungary.  Castle district at night is magical.  

Two days at the baths b/c there was a sizzling heat wave going through:  34 to 37 C

The raspberry soup is now a mandatory item.  "I'll have raspberry soup for the appetizer.  Then I'll have raspberry soup for the entree."  And for dessert?  Raspberry soup!"  I'm not kidding.

What a fun friendship you have with the Greens. I hope we can have friends like that someday who have known us for so long and still like us. ;)
I'm sold on Budapest. When do we leave??
