We really enjoyed exploring Bonn on bikes! Beautiful city- home of Beethoven!
Plus some chewy snacks 😉

Snack at the station
We caught a train to Bonn and enjoyed a tasty bite on the way- pretzel with butter and herbs. So yummy!
We rented bikes and we were off…
Quick breakfast
We’re heading to Bonn for the day. Quick breakfast then out the door!
Iced coffee, vanilla yogurt, and strawberries.
Dinner and cards at home
After a great day sight seeing we spent a relaxing evening at home nibbling, enjoying awesome German wine, and playing cards. Fun night with fun friends!!!
Brasserie
We had a tasty lunch at a cute brasserie in Dusseldorf 🙂 Adam and I shared a Caesar salad and each had a bread bowl of potato soup. We finished the meal with delicious coffees- macchiato and cappuccino.
Breakfast
Buttery croissant with herbed cream cheese, smoked prosciutto and an iced coffee 🙂
Creperie
We just can’t pass up a fresh crepe! We had banana and Nutella wrapped in a hot and buttery crepe. Delicious! We also tried a new soda. It was odd, a mix of bubble gum and cream soda with a sweettart finish. Strange.
Late lunch, early dinner
After a relaxing afternoon at home, we went for a walk into town. What a beautiful city! We had lunch at a Thai restaurant. It was good, very different than Thai in the US, but good.
We started with some ugly, but tasty appetizers- spring rolls, crispy shrimp, and chicken sate. I had the Thai red curry with vegetables and rice. It was pleasantly spicy and creamy. Adam had the pad se ew with vegetables and, surprise, chicken!!!
Dinner with friends
We shared a lovely, HOT day in Cologne with friends- co-workers Dave and Dana, and a German student of Adam’s, Sascha. He was an excellent tour guide and host.
We walked throughout Cologne, then had a tasty dinner near the river. I had the tagliatelle with cream, bacon, and chanterelles. It was creamy, smoky, and earthy. Adam had grilled pork cutlets in a creamy, chanterelle sauce. It, too, was very yummy! Good food. Good friends. Good life.
After dinner we found a spot near the river to watch the fireworks display- wow!!!! It was over thirty minutes long and synchronized to 70’s music. It was awesome although none of my pictures prove it 🙂
Sunday breakfast
We slept in today 🙂 I made a late breakfast of toasted whole wheat ciabatta rubbed with garlic and spread with red bell pepper pesto and topped with a juicy fried egg. I served it with a fruit salad of strawberries, blueberries, and peaches. Tasty 🙂
Breakfast. Lunch. Dinner.
