Strasbourg to Barr 7/1

It was a rainy day, so not too many pictures as I didn't want to deal with the camera. We followed a canal path and then back roads most of the way, finally heading up some long and low hills into wine country. We rode for a total of about 30 miles, at a relaxed pace. With more people, we are riding less and eating out more. Plusses and minuses I guess, but I was antsy to ride more today, especially with yesterday off the bike in Strasbourg- I guess out of habit. Everything was closed today (Sunday), so we didn't get to stop and try any wine, and it was hard to find restaurants and impossible to buy groceries. We even had to sit around our hotel lobby for about 30 minutes this afternoon waiting for an employee to wander by and check us in. France is weird- you'd think someone would be happy to sell us things. Pictures: Alsace farms in rain. Alan Liby and Dad eating lunch in Obernai. In front of Le Manoir hotel in Barr.
