Around Bonn

One Saturday, I caught a train to meet my friend from church on our way to Koblenz. It's a city about the size of Bonn just upstream (which means south), only about a 30 minute train ride. We had a great time on a beautiful sunny day.

This is a huge statue right at the delta where the Moselle and Rhine rivers meet

The View from the Horse

Here is Inga in the Ehrenbreitstein Fortress. She's great.

I have never really been in love with spring. In Utah, spring lasts about two weeks and doesn't involve a lot of flowers. In Juneau, spring shows up end of June, and isn't much different than any other part of the summer, except colder. Europe however, knows how to do Spring. Here are some spots in Bonn flaunting springtime blossoms.

Rhineau park. So much green

Today, my friend Olivia and I biked around the area a bit. She's another American Au Pair here in Bonn. We biked across the Rhine to Koningswinter. We ate lunch, took this train up to the top of one of the Siebenbergen (Seven Mountains) to the ruins of a beautiful castle.
