A few photos from last night at Deggendorf\u2019s central square before and after dinner.<\/p>\n

Then off we went. \"\"<\/p>\n

We took a short cut at one point and then suddenly in front of us were castle ruins! So, we went up the hill to see it!<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

The irony of looking through the archways of the ruins and seeing lots of solar panels.<\/p>\n

One section of the bike path had scale models of planets. (Reminds me of when we did a similar thing with the kids.)<\/p>\n

Oh, today, biking on cobblestones! Bumpity bump bump!<\/p>\n

A swan on the Danube came up to get a closer look at us.<\/p>\n

We stopped and he scraped out some grit, turned a few screws, tugged on some cables, and it wasn\u2019t getting better, so he grabbed the front derailleur (the shifting part down low on the bike) and started shaking it really hard, and out dropped a pea-sized pebble! My shifting has never been better since he did that!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
