Road construction. 

Beautiful river with paved trails.

More road construction. 

We came to an intersection. Lynn wanted to get on the sidewalk to cross the bridge. I suggested going through the intersection first then get on the sidewalk on the other side of the bridge because it looked like a better view. This was the view... 

We generally followed a river through a valley. We had a few hills which rewarded us with great views. 

Here is a back yard with a fish pond along one of the bicycle routes we were on.
And the mail carrier.
We found a nice spot for lunch. 
The weather was perfect.  It was 65 to 75 degrees with a slight cool breeze. We were mostly on bicycle routes today. There were lots of people on the paths and on the bike lanes and sidewalks in the towns.  We were near towns but mostly the route kept us going around the outside of them.

We got to Martinshof Hotel around 5pm. The cost for the room was about $158 including breakfast. 
We ate at the hotel mexican restaurant, La Cucaracha. I wanted to see how Europe did Mexican food. It was pretty good... no spice.. it was $36.

It was a beautiful day. I'm really thinking about how this is the end of my trip. It's hard to believe that I'll be heading home soon.  I would love to be able to finish the whole ride,  but my 90 days in Europe will soon be up and I must exit. Not sure what I'll do when I get home. Maybe I'll start planning a trip to France for next summer!
