Fiata miata

It's the Indie 500, Roger style. We've been gearing down around river corners, revving up as we speed through hillsides of vineyards in our 2 cylinder, tiny Fiat ('fix it again tony'....no more). My goodness, it is just too much like Europe! I think I am on a movie set. All you bicyclists out there ... Head to the Mosel Valley. It is filled with bikers on their own path along the road. Interestingly, it reminds me of Qualicum Beach, BC... They are of a certain vintage. It must be September and the kids are back in school. And none of them wear helmets or wear North American bike gear... dress jackets, blouses, jeans, dress shoes are often de rigeur.

As we cruised into Beilstein, Roger turned to me and laughed, "I can take Jim* in this baby anytime."

*a note of homage to our friend and sometimes traveling companion, Jim Macdonald.
