Hi all,<\/p>\n

Just a quick update as I have limited internet connection. I got a late start today, owing to the need to take care of some work on my computer first, and owing to the fog which left my gear quite damp. The riding was almost completely flat for the entire day, much of it along the Danube on dirt, but otherwise good, paths.<\/p>\n

You might notice in the distance—I saw my first German nuclear reactor!<\/p>\n

I loved the flowers in the foreground. Stunning!<\/p>\n

Later in the day, I met a really interesting man–the first American cyclist I have met since coming to Europe. His name is Professor Frank Williams from the University of Augusta in Georgia. Frank is a history professor, and is riding in Germany to retrace the route take by the Catholic Cardinal Luigi d’Aragon. (Frank–please correct me if I am spelling it wrong). He is going to write a book about this. I was impressed by his desire to experience the same lands and forests as the person he is trying to understand It was nice to talk to a fellow American and I was really sorry we were heading in opposite directions. I wish him well.<\/p>\n

Eventually, I came to the town of Donauworth and went to the only campground shown on the map–a small place that is actually located at a Kayak club along the Danube. 6 Euros and everything I need, including a vending machine that sells bottled beer for 1.5 Euros.<\/p>\n

I need to do another 80 km tomorrow, and make up for some that I missed as well today. Until next time….<\/p>\n
