Miles: 56.88; Total: 6,095.22
After taking a day off to celebrate my 50th birthday (more on that later), we set out along the edge of the Black Forest and toward Bavaria. And it was as if the universe had read my earlier blog posts about some ho-hum experiences at the border and sent loads of charm, beauty, and kindness our way.
The highlight was our dinner companions Martin and Ernesto, who agreed to share a table with us, even though we sort of smelled. We swapped stories of travel, and they told us about the delightful town of Riedlinger, home of the original Miller Brewing Company (see last picture). They were an exellent remnder that we need to take more time to just hang out with folks, rather than going after more and more miles.
