On Thursday, we did a thing with some of Daniel’s work folks. I met him at work and we walked a couple kilometers up the Rhein. Here are a few pictures I took then.
This is the UN building where Daniel works - somewhere up on the 11th floor.
View up the Rhein from near his office toward Bonn city center.
A couple random shots down and across the Rhein from while we were walking.
Everyone here bikes. I was apprehensive about getting back into it (probably been about 30 years since I really biked), but when I saw the 80 year woman biking on a fairly major road while listening to an ipod, I decided I was being a tad silly.
Daniel and I went down to the park along the Rhein and I practiced. Our plan was to bike to the big beer festival in the park (weekend event), but when we got there they had more or less cancelled for the day - did I mention the wind with 50+mph gusts? For some reason all the various vendors were nervous about their tents. The advantage to the weather was that there were very few folks out in the park and I didn’t have to worry about tons of other bikes and pedestrians. We did about 4K yesterday - considering how long it’s been, I’m surprisingly not sore. I tried to take pictures, but my memory card claimed to be full (it shouldn’t have been, but I emptied it anyway, hopefully it was a one-time flake out) so I didn’t get any. If we attempt the beer festival again today, I'll see if I can get some.
